Visual Impact PrePrint, LLC the Digital Division of Corrugated Synergies International, LLC (CSI), North America’s first dedicated sheet feeding company, is following its launch of high-volume, high-graphic direct-to-board corrugated packaging printing on an EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass LED inkjet press with the purchase of two additional Nozomi presses.
The Nozomi, an ultra-high-speed corrugated production solution from Electronics For Imaging, Inc., has allowed Renton, WA-based CSI to capture new market opportunities at its new trade printing operation in Santa Teresa, NM.
CSI’s New Mexico facility, which has 20 employees, provides high-end, direct-to-board trade printing for a wide range of clients across the western U.S.
Dumbach said that the EFI Nozomi allows Visual Impact PrePrint to replace litho lamination jobs with direct-to-corrugated printing.

CSI is on pace to become the world’s largest user of EFI Nozomi presses, with a second press scheduled for installation at a facility in the Las Vegas area, and a third press to be installed at a yet-to-be-revealed location.
CSI launched its first press, which is used to produce both packaging and corrugated displays, this past summer at a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez.
“After receiving a significant number of requests for quotes, samples and proofs, the word really got out about the press’s amazing capabilities," CSI VP of Manufacturing and Print Jeffery Dumbach said. "We are getting orders for display work and club retail packaging, and our newest contract is for a double-sided e-commerce packaging application. Overall, our volumes are increasing every month.”

“The larger digital volumes, extremely high quality and faster time to market enabled by the Nozomi have driven many of our customers to take on jobs they probably would have turned down before because of the limited capacity that exists with multi-pass digital,” he said. “And, they are getting better quality. Our customers are blown away with the image quality and the pop of Nozomi print with its high gloss.”
The 71-inch wide EFI Nozomi single-pass LED inkjet press is an award-winning, ultra-high-speed production system. Operating at speeds up to 246 linear feet per minute – or 10,000 35x35-inch boards per hour two-up – the press features an innovative, single-pass, piezo inkjet writing system that delivers accurate, high-fidelity color, including consistent reproduction on solid areas.
