All Printing Resources launches new digital label proofing, printing, & production (DLP3) system at Labelexpo Americas
Wednesday 10. September 2008 - All Printing Resources, Inc. (APR) has created a digital proof, digital print, and digital finishing production system configured to complement any flexo label printing operation. The company will unveil the system at Labelexpo Americas show.
APR’s DLP³ System combines the EFI Colorproof XF proofing solution, an Epson 4880 inkjet printer and the Allen Datagraph Systems Digital Finishing System (an all-in-one digital proofer, digital press and digital converter solution.)
According to the company, the new DLP³ system provides the following benefits:
Produces contract quality digital contone or halftone dot proofs.
Proofs can be laminated and digital die cut without creating an actual die.
Proofs are color managed using ICC profiles to match ones conventional printing press.
Produce short run labels.
Digitally print, laminate, and die cut labels ready to ship.
Product concepts or mock-ups.
Create full color labels with several different die cut options without ever creating a die.
As the output of the DLP3 is color managed using ICC profiles to match a conventional flexo press, the company claims, once a digital proof is approved, the system will allow to reproduce the label on the production press resulting in shorter make readies and more press up-time. The system creates a digital press proof of each label job. Once approved there is an option of running an initial production run on the system or producing the entire job depending on final quantity.
Additionally, the system allows to increase the capacity by off loading short run jobs from the conventional press to the DLP3.
