Lightning Labels has announced the recent installation of what the company describes as "a state-of-the-art" digital press at its Denver facility that will "usher in a new standard of sticker and label-making for the company."
Julie Waldrop, production manager at Lightning Labels, explains, "This high-capacity press will help Lightning Labels more effectively meet its twin objectives of quality and quantity without compromising the signature lightning-fast speed we pride ourselves on. We are excited to appeal to new customers with an even better product than before, and to raise the bar even higher for those who already know and love our crisp, vibrant, durable labels."
While Lightning Labels did not reveal the make and model of its new digital press, the company says the machine is based on liquid ElectroInk technology that "can go toe to toe with gravure printing without the time investment associated with rotary printing." The press features the The Intertek Green Leaf Mark, which signifies compliance with environmental regulations such as Restriction of Hazardous Substances laws and Eco Design requirements.
Lightning Labels was particularly attracted to the press’ application versatility. The company says, "The solution comes with the ability to print on a wide variety of paper and synthetic substrates, including heat-sensitive materials, without requiring pre-planned treatment."
The digital press also comes with an Enhanced Productivity Mode option that hastens press throughput for white ink and color by 25% and 33%, respectively, cutting cost per meter and turnaround times without compromising the quality of the final product. According to Lightning Labeks, the press' remote diagnostic tools and advanced automation boost uptime and productivity, while its One Shot Color technology facilitates the laying down of all color separations at once for an even more expedited process.
