DPS goes Digital with Agfa's :Dotrix Modular digital press

Press release from the issuing company

Chicago, IL (PRINT, Booth #2600) - Agfa Graphics announced today that recent installations of the :Dotrix Modular digital press have provided excellent results for packaging and specialty printing companies around the globe, including DPS (Digital Packaging Solutions) in the U.S.
 
DPS, a sister company of Master Graphic Services of Atlanta, GA, was established to expand and enhance the finishing capabilities of Master Graphic Services by providing high quality digital printing for the packaging industry. This meant DPS required a solution that would enable them to produce on-demand services. Ultimately this solution would also help DPS to continue to grow and diversify their product offerings going forward. DPS embarked on a thorough and expansive search and quickly found that Agfa's :Dotrix Modular was the only viable solution in the marketplace that produced what it promised. According to Aamir Anwar, CEO of  DPS,  ":Dotrix was the only digital press we saw that could produce the quality, reliability and consistency required for the packaging industry, plus the fact that it uses UV inks means that :Dotrix can produce high image quality and vibrant colors on a wide variety of substrates for our customers."
 
With Agfa's :Dotrix Modular, package and specialty printers are no longer required to utilize traditional or costly printing technology in order to achieve the high quality their customers demand. :Dotrix combines the highest quality, productivity and flexibility with the lowest cost of ownership. The unique 25.6 inch-printing width of the highly versatile :Dotrix means it can print on the widest variety of substrates, ranging from flexible foils such as HDPE, PET, PVC self-adhesives, board up to 24 point, banner stock, and so much more. Its modular construction allows companies to add traditional flexo stations to the roll-to-roll configuration, serving as coating and varnishing alleys. In-line slitting, die cutting and sheeting modules can also be integrated to ensure it's fully customized to fit the needs of the operation. 
 
High quality, increased productivity, speed and versatility are a reality with the :Dotrix Modular as it enables packaging and specialty printers like DPS to produce a plethora of profit-generating applications and economically handle short- to medium-runs.  For more information about DPS visit them on the web at www.printdigitalnow.com.
