Epson has a major presence at LabelExpo 2013, where it will launch the innovative SurePress L-6034VW single-pass digital label press, demonstrate the versatile SurePress L-4033AW digital label press and show sophisticated digital proofing and prototyping for a variety of packaging applications.
The SurePress L-6034VW was first unveiled as a prototype at Drupa 2012 and is the first Epson product to use LED-curable UV ink. Designed to handle both short- and medium-run jobs, the press can print on a wide range of film and paper substrates. More details will be revealed with its global launch at Labelexpo Europe.
Epson will also demonstrate its SurePress L-4033AW press printing high-value, high-quality labels for premium products. This seven-colour SurePress L-4033AW inkjet digital label press with white ink delivers excellent print quality and accurate colour reproduction on a wide variety of standard label substrates, including clear and metallic materials, said Epson.
Using Epson SurePress AQ ink set with green, orange and white inks, the press delivers precise colour matching and accurate reproduction of spot and specialty colours, according to the firm.
The SurePress L-4033AW lets print firms and label converters print short-to-medium volumes of premium quality labels on-demand, said Epson.
Epson is also taking part in the Inkjet Trail, where visitors can compare labels printed on the same substrates by different presses. Epson will print food, pharmaceutical or industrial labels on the SurePress L-4033AW.
“At LabelExpo we will show our strong commitment to developing a range of professional label presses that enable companies to grow their business and access lucrative new markets with confidence,” said Duncan Ferguson, director Pro Graphics, Epson Europe.
