Electronics For Imaging, Inc. featured its ultra-high-speed singlepass inkjet print technology for the corrugated market at CorrExpo 2023, August 28-30 in Cleveland, OH.
At the show, which was organized by TAPPI, saw virtual demonstrations of the EFI Nozomi single-pass technology, viewed a multitude of printed corrugated applications, and met with EFI experts.
EFI Nozomi direct-to-corrugated digital printers, the most widely installed single-pass corrugated printers in the world, leverage world-class EFI single-pass UV LED inkjet technology to bring enhanced productivity, reliability, value and flexibility to the industrial packaging segment.
“If you are traveling to CorrExpo, you will see Nozomi print applications first-hand, starting with printed door hangers placed on the doorknobs of every room in the CorrExpo housing block,” said Evandro Matteucci, EFI VP and GM, packaging & building materials. “
The EFI Nozomi printer line offers a robust design for heavy industrial use, high reliability and high productivity. It offers packaging converters excellent uptime plus the versatility to print nearly all board flute types – with enhancements to automatically reject damaged boards without stopping print production.
Depending on specific application requirements, customers have a choice between the EFI Nozomi 14000 LED and the Nozomi C18000 Plus offerings. The Nozomi C18000 Plus is an established technology with a print width of 1.8 meters and configurable with up to seven colors while the Nozomi 14000 LED, with a width of 1.4 m and up to six colors, is a very compact solution that fits easily into most box plants.
Both are also ideal for point-of-sale (POS) applications thanks to the outstanding print quality and flexibility they offer. The same goes for e-commerce checkouts as the ability to include highquality graphic content enhances the shopping experience for the smart buyer – be it online or at a retail store.
EFI also participated in a CorrExpo What’s New?/Tech Talks session on new innovation in environmental sustainability, with a focus on the EFI Nozomi 14000 LED single pass printer’s environmental and business benefits.
“Nozomi is a sustainable printing solution for corrugated,” Matteucci added, “which is critically important as manufacturers work to reduce their environmental impact. This efficient digital alternative to analog corrugated production delivers energy-efficient productivity with virtually no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and up to 35% lower energy consumption than flexo printing.”
The Nozomi presses also significantly reduce ink and board waste compared with flexo and litho-lamination. Unlike analog printing methods, they do not require water for cleaning, reducing converters’ costs and their environmental footprint. Plus, the EFI Nozomi platform is the only single-pass inkjet offering in the industry to have its output certified for OCC recyclability and repulpability by the Western Michigan University Recycling, Paper and Coating Pilot Plant – a leading certification organization for corrugated recycling.
