Data Communications Management (DCM) of Brampton, Ontario, Canada installed the first Labelfire 340 in Canada from Heidelberg-Gallus.
“Our clients are looking for shorter runs and more customization on their labels. If we’re going to be a leader in short-run prime label business, we need the best piece of hybrid technology, and I believe we are going to receive it with the Heidelberg-Gallus Labelfire 340,” said Alan Roberts, SVP at DCM.
The Labelfire 340 prints at 50 m/min. The hybrid press, which combines flexo and digital technologies, handles digital flexo, cold foil, rotary screen, and die-cutting from start to finish.
“We believe that a hybrid press versus a pure digital press is the right solution that gives us the flexibility to meet customer demands, especially since we are now able to do everything inline in one pass,” said Roberts. “With other pure digital technology, you have to take everything off the press and bring it to another piece of equipment, which takes a lot more time and labor.”
Printing at 1200 x 1200 dpi, the Labelfire features the latest inkjet technology with 7 colors plus white and three flexo print units on the digital side. DCM is also able to print flexo white or digital white without slowing down the press speeds.
