Domino Printing Sciences and Mark Andy are to launch a new hybrid digital/flexo printing system, the 1200dpi Mark Andy Digital iQ Series DSiQ-730 hybrid press at the Labelexpo Americas show in Chicago, which starts on 10 September.
Based on Domino’s newly launched N730i Integration Module, the DSiQ-730 is an extension of the ongoing collaboration between the companies, which they say focuses on developing ‘high-performance printing and finishing lines for converters looking for high quality digital hybrid systems with industry leading automation’.
Duane Pekar, Mark Andy’s CEO, said, ‘Hybrid is here to stay. The single pass efficiencies offered by hybrid presses are exactly what our customers are asking for and we’re pleased to be expanding our offering with the new DSiQ-730. Partnering with Domino enables us to offer the latest in hybrid printing technology to our customers.’
Meanwhile, Russell Weller, head of Digital Colour at Domino, added, ‘By combining our strengths in digital inkjet printing with Mark Andy’s flexographic and finishing expertise, we hope to fast-track innovation in the sector so we can continue to help converters open the door to new label printing opportunities and win more business.’
Hybrid printing will be a feature of the two manufacturers’ Labelexpo Americas booths, with a Mark Andy Digital iQ Series hybrid printing line featuring the DSiQ-R digital retrofit module on show at booth #319, and a Mark Andy Pro Series press, featuring high-speed monochrome advanced variable data printing from Domino’s K600i and K300 printers and code verification by Domino Group Company Lake Image Systems, on display at booth #5821, alongside Domino’s digital colour label presses.
