INX International to Demonstrate New Digital Proofing Systems at Cannex

At Cannex, April 27-29, 2016 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, INX International Ink Co. visitors to will see first-hand the digital printing capabilities available in booth 1013.
 
Due to industry requests, two off-press digital proofing systems will be demonstrated. Metal decorators can create proofs and prototypes using Direct-to-Object printing on INX’s CP100 UV digital cylindrical printer, or with Can Wrap proofing, using a Roland VersaCAMM Vsi digital printer.
 
“The industry has consistently inquired about our digital print systems that we have demonstrated in the past. We are responding to their questions and requests about proofing,” said Rick Clendenning, president and CEO of INX International Ink Co. “INX has come a long way with these systems and is ready to present them to the market as a possible solution to compliment the traditional proofing systems currently used today. At Cannex, you will be able to see what we have done, the possibilities ahead, and how we can help you support your customers in the future with inkjet technologies.”
 
Driving both new proofing systems is the CMA Color Portal software. This unique packaging software program provides web-based proofing using patented, four-dimensional iterative color management algorithms. Combined with the specially designed interface for the CP100 and Roland VersaCAMM printers, CMA Color Portal provides a potential solution for off-press halftone and continuous tone digital proofing and prototyping.
 
The CP100 digital printer is powered by JetINX and produces designs and color proofs directly onto standard 2-piece cans. The extended gamut UV ink set allows designers and brand owners to quickly print and test design concepts in-house. Utilizing traditional laboratory prints supplied by INX as the color standard, the digital system allows one to achieve prints produced by a traditional production line.
 
The VersaCAMM digital printer uses a special, 2-piece wide-gamut film substrate, manufactured to the highest quality. The film substrate ensures the most accurate colors available on can wraps. The transfer film is a breakthrough when it comes to metal can mock-ups or off-press proofs.
 
INX will also exhibit its industry leading 2-piece and 3-piece ink systems and the INXSpec Brand Color Perfection System for Monobloc decorators.
