Digit Pack, a relatively new company in the corrugated sector in Poland, invested in an EFI Nozomi C18000 six-color, single-pass LED inkjet printer from Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
The new printer will allow Digit Pack to expand its business in corrugated digital printing.
“A few years ago, I noticed the growing pace of development of digital printing in the corrugated market,” Digit Pack Owner and President Paweł Rogalka said. “When I saw the Nozomi C18000, I could tell that it was the future because this technology is part of the implementation of Industry 4.0 and digitization in the corrugated packaging business.
“I like innovations, challenges and large-scale activities,” he added. “These three factors prompted me to invest in the Nozomi.”
Digit Pack will build the core of its business around the Nozomi.
“The digital printing house will be the heart of the business,” said Rogalka. “The Nozomi is a smart and reliably constructed printer with high-quality imaging and superior performance. It also offers us high efficiency, reliability and a wide spectrum of printing possibilities. We are confident that this machine will help us become the leading digital printing house for box makers in Poland.”
Headquartered in Poznań, Digit Pack was founded in 2015 primarily to perform R&D on an automated technical testing product for corrugated board.
Once the prototype of the device was ready at the end of 2018, Rogalka saw the growing potential of digital printing in the corrugated market.
The company opened a new building – where the EFI Nozomi C18000 printer will be installed – in Żnin, Poland in early 2020.
The 1.8-meter (71-inch) wide EFI Nozomi C18000 prints up to 246 linear feet (75 linear meters) per minute, printing up to 10,000 35x35-inch (890x890-mm) boards per hour two-up.
Its single-pass, piezo inkjet imaging system delivers accurate, high-fidelity color, including excellent, consistent reproduction on solid areas. The Nozomi achieved the Fogra ISO 20690 Standard.
Digit Pack’s new printer has a six-color configuration (CMYK, orange and violet) for superior-quality and expanded-gamut imaging with matte, satin or glossy finishes.
The printer is also the only ultra-high-speed, single-pass corrugated inkjet printer to have its output certified for OCC recyclability and repulpability by the Western Michigan University Recycling, Paper and Coating Pilot Plant.
Additionally, Nozomi inks are GREENGUARD Certified.
