A Successful Jump Into Digital Embellishments Unveiling of the ZRX Harris & Bruno proudly introduced the groundbreaking and innovative ZRX Digital Embellishment press, showcasing flood coating, digital spot coating, tactile raised coatings, and foiling, all in one single pass.

At the HP and Kodak booths the ZRW impressed attendees with its high-speed performance and quality coating output. Several printers that came to the show looking for a digital web press also ended up purchasing a ZRW to pair with it, two of which were in Europe. This coater’s capability to seamlessly enhance and protect digital web printing inline with superior coating solutions was a standout feature of the show.
H&B Equipmentment Showcased Across Drupa While the main events of Harris & Bruno were the ZRX and the ZRW, their cutting-edge equipment could be found in action in halls across the entire show. Over at Landa, the coating tower featuring H&B’s chamber-anilox system applied a glass-smooth gloss over Landa’s vibrant nano-ink, demonstrating superior finish quality.
