Dublin-based JR Labels has installed the first Mark Andy Digital One label press in Ireland. The Digital One, which has a 330mm web width is a hybrid platform that includes a CMYK dry toner unit preceded by a web cleaner, and followed by a single flexo station for decoration (spot color, cold foil, lamination, varnish), and finally a die cutting unit.
Introduced at Labelexpo Americas 2016, Digital One is an entry-level digital label press designed to print short-run prime labels with inline converting at a modest investment level and all in one pass. The hybrid technology allows label converters to augment high output flexo presses and bring greater efficiency to short run work.
JR Labels, which was established in 1978 by Ron Carson, and is now managed by his son Andrew, is a 100% trade house.
“It fills the gap we have between flexo capability and demand for short run work, and matches the quality of anything we produce here, no matter what substrate we use,” John McGrillen, JR Labels’ sales and marketing manager, said. “It’s added considerably to our production capability and is beginning to open markets that we couldn’t tap into before.”
