Jetrion Introducing First Stand-Alone Rewinder With Integrated Uv Inkjet Printing System At Ipex

Press release from the issuing company

IPEX, Birmingham, UK, April 4, 2006 — Jetrion LLC, a leading supplier of inkjet printers, inks and custom systems, will introduce the 3025SA, the first stand-alone narrow web label rewinder with an integrated UV inkjet printing system, at IPEX 2006. The newest addition to Jetrion’s expanding equipment product line will be presented and demonstrated during the show at the Flint Group/Jetrion stand #5–G85. The Jetrion 3025SA rewinder is an extension of the company’s popular Jetrion 3000 Series. It utilizes Jetrion’s advanced flagship 3025 inkjet printing system to provide a cost-effective, off-line, high quality UV inkjet printing solution with the flexibility to print high quality barcodes, text, numbers, and graphics at label rewinder speeds on an exceptionally wide range of label, tag, ticket and card substrates. And to ensure optimal curing of Jetrion’s line of fast-cure UV inks, the 3025SA also includes a mounted UV lamp from Honle UV America. Now, narrow web printers who have been looking for an off-line variable printing alternative to thermal transfer or ion deposition can enjoy the benefits of UV inkjet: reliability, image durability, substrate choice flexibility, and exceptional quality. Apart from its UV inkjet printing capability, the 3025SA also offers a range of important rewinder production options, including slitters, die-cutters, and inspection systems. The 3025SA can be operated with any combination of the printing and optional production capabilities, or as a basic rewinder when those capabilities are required for a job’s specs. In Europe, Jetrion’s manufacturing partner for the 3025SA is Grafisk Maskinfabrik of Denmark. In the United States, Jetrion’s technology development partner, Mark Andy, will be manufacturing the new 3025SA rewinder units. Ken Stack, President of Jetrion noted, “The Jetrion 3025SA was developed in response to our narrow web customers’ need for an offline UV inkjet printing capability in addition to our highly successful 3025 inline model. Now label converters and other users can have the added flexibility to handle quality UV inkjet printing or basic rewinding operations in production mode that delivers the best bottom-line results for their jobs.” Hungary-based BCL Bar Code Label has purchased a dual-headed Jetrion 3025SA and will be the site of the first installation of the new system in Europe. Information about the Jetrion 3025SA and all other Jetrion UV inkjet systems and ink products is now available through the Flint Group sales offices throughout Europe and other market regions, as well as by contacting Jetrion directly. Jetrion 3025 Printing System Jetrion's exhibit will spotlight the outstanding performance of the cutting-edge Jetrion 3025 Inkjet System in the 3025SA. Featuring breakthrough drop-on-demand (DOD) technology, the Jetrion 3025 delivers flexibility and print quality at a lower cost. The Jetrion 3025 inkjet printing system offers substantially more substrate printing capability than continuous inkjet (CIJ), thermal transfer, or toner printing processes. The system is ideal for placement of durable variable images on high-gloss and film materials for production applications that require higher quality bar-coding, numbering and variable messaging on printed products. Co-developed with Graph-Tech AG of Switzerland, the Jetrion 3025 incorporates that company's proven MIC controller with image layout capabilities, simplifying production of variable codes and marks. The Jetrion 3025 provides the lowest running cost of available DOD marking printheads. UV3000 Ink Program Employing its advanced 3000 series UV inkjet printers, Jetrion will also present applications of its unique UV3000 Ink Program designed to provide customers with job- and substrate-specific UV inkjet solutions. The program focuses the company's industry-leading UV ink technology, research resources and extensive, field-proven inkjet production experience on providing custom-developed UV inkjet inks for specific applications on virtually every type of film, foil or paper substrate used in inkjet printing production.
