Copenhagen - The Danish digital label press manufacturer Trojanlabel is entering the DRUPA exhibition in Düsseldorf (May 31 - June 10.) with a completely new concept which, potentially, can change the business for converters and packagers and will expandTrojanlabel’s market focus beyond the label business.

Based on the success of their digital label press Trojan2, they have designed an overprinting system – Trojan3 – which can be implemented in a vast variety of converting, transportation and packaging equipment, making new business opportunities for this business segment.

The Trojan3 overprinting system is an affordable kit which basically can be mounted in any host system which runs at speeds of up to 18 meters per minute, enabling high quality 4-color printing on all materials with an absorbing surface like most kinds of uncoated papers and cardboards or materials which are pre-treated for aqueous inkjet printing. The flexibility of the overprinting system means that it can be used to print on flat objects such as unfolded boxes or labels, thick objects like blister envelopes and wooden planks or even folded boxes ready for shipment.

The Trojan3 overprinting system is based on the technology successfully used in theTrojan2 label press.That includes a very intuitive user interface, the mechanical design, the print engine, the automatic ink cleaning system and electronics all developed and manufactured byTrojanlabel.The printhead itself provides a 1.600x1.600 dpi resolution which is among the highest on the market.

”We see the Trojan3 primarily as a value adding product. Manufacturers of converting and packaging equipment can include high quality 4-color printing at a very affordable price, thus making new business opportunities for both themselves and their customers,” says CEO of Trojanlabel, Mikkel Wichmann.

”The vast amount of small corrugated boxes being used, for instance for postal orders, pizza boxes, shoe boxes etc., represents a huge marketing potential if you deploy high quality inkjet technology,” adds Trojanlabel’s director of business development, Kim-Regin Sustmann.
