SPGPrints will feature its DSI UV-inkjet printer and its digital laser engraving systems for plate and screen imaging, along with its rotary screen solutions for labels and packaging, on its booth at Labelexpo Americas 2016, Sept. 13-15, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, IL.
 
In live demonstrations, SPGPrints will provide a real-time experience of the simplicity, quality and productivity of its DSI digital UV-inkjet workflow and rotaLEN laser engraving system for screen imaging.
 
The 13-inch (330mm)-wide DSI UV-inkjet printer is custom-built as a stand-alone production unit with many options. Intermediate inline LED pinning stations and chill drum are standard. In addition to CMYK, the press can feature up to six extra stations: orange and violet, to achieve 90% of the PANTONE Color gamut, opaque white with 93% optical density, and digital primer. Inks formulated and manufactured by SPGPrints offer outstanding chemical, scratch and sunlight resistance. The DSI press can also be used for second-pass printing applications, for example, by adding variable data, such as serialized or personalized information, on to previously analog-printed labels.
 
rotaLEN is a direct laser engraving system for imaging rotary screens with resolutions up to 4000dpi in one fully digital step.
 
variLEX hybrid CtP processor is a single, digital imaging solution for high-definition flexo, dry-offset, screen and letterpress printing forms/
 
SPGPrints’ rotary screen printing solutions cover every process step: retrofittable RSI (Rotary Screen Integration) units perform seamlessly inline with other processes; nonwoven nickel re-engraveable RotaMesh and reusable RotaPlate screens offer durability and stability at up to 330fpm (100m/min); analog exposure and digital engraving prepress systems give complete control of the process. A workbench will demonstrate SPGPrints’ rotary screen workflow as a flexible, low-TCO way of applying numerous brand-enhancing, functional and tactile effects in one pass, from the no-label look to Braille.
