At Labelexpo Americas 2016, Mark Andy will debut Digital One, a new entry-level digital printing and converting label press. Designed to print short run prime labels with in-line converting at a low investment level, Digital One is an ideal solution to introduce digital printing to any business.
 
The new all-in-one press offering 4-color CMYK digital process at a 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution on a pay-as-you-go model combined with a single flexo station for in-line converting and decorating, promises to deliver a profitable solution for the growing demand for short run. The standardized configuration features a web width of 13 inch (330mm) with printing speeds reaching 63 fpm (19mpm) on various substrates including pressure sensitive paper and film, unsupported paper and tag stocks.
 
The servo-driven flexo station offers capabilities to spot color, varnish, laminate, and cold foil with in-line finsihing offering die cutting, stripping and slitting capabilities.
 
Equipped with air-cooled UV LED curing and an onboard compressor, Digital One requires only a 220v single phase power source, making it an easy installation in most any environment.
 
“Demands for digital capabilities are steadily increasing,” explained Tim Brasher, Mark Andy’s manager of business development. “Digital One is a viable solution for converters allowing them to engage with more customers and seek more opportunities to generate revenue for their businesses.”
 
Digital One will join a newly designed Performance Series P7, Digital Series hybrid solution along with Rotoflex HSI, VLI and VSI finishing solutions live on stand 319 at Labelexpo Americas.
 
Deliveries of Digital One will be as early as December 2016 in North America, with the rest of world in Q1 2017.
