“Brands are asking for high-quality labels at a fast turnaround, and we set out to provide converters with an industry-leading digital hybrid printing solution that would deliver a competitive edge,” Michael Matthews, Product Manager – Digital Colour, Domino, explains. “The modular approach of the N730i Integration Module helps converters create a cost-effective, future-proof printing and finishing line with an OEM partner of their choosing. We are pleased to be one of the few providers to offer this flexibility.”
Introduced at Labelexpo Americas, the N730i Integration Module allows converters to work with their preferred OEM partner and Domino to create a customised digital hybrid printing and finishing solution to their choice of configuration.
The N730i Integration Module uses the proven N730i print engine, harnessing Domino i-Tech features, BITSTARTM printhead technology, and proprietary TPO-free inks, to produce fine details, including micro text and CJK characters, with superb quality. This technology stack delivers high-resolution print at up to 70 metres per minute across all colours – including reliable printing of high-opacity white at top speed.
In addition to well-known benefits of hybrid printing, such as higher productivity and improved efficiency, the N730i’s Sunrise DFE offers real-time, inline RIP for labels featuring customisation and variable data, making print runs with multiple SKUs easy, with no need for offline preparation.
“We are excited to launch the N730i Integration Module and look forward to collaborating with our customers and their preferred OEM partners,” says Matthews. “Together, we will create powerful hybrid lines combining Domino’s cutting-edge digital technologies with flexographic printing to offer the best of both worlds. It’s great to see our digital printing expertise benefit customers across industries, enabling converters to achieve new levels of flexibility and efficiency.”
The new R-Scan
Labelexpo Americas also saw the introduction of the R-Scan inline monitoring and print inspection camera system for Domino’s N730i digital label press, developed in collaboration with print inspection expert Lake Image Systems, a Domino Group Company.
The R-Scan features a comprehensive suite of print quality and variable data assurance tools to help minimise waste and provide peace of mind to converters. The system provides automated monitoring of print quality, colour deviations, and registration at high speeds, with minimal setup time and supervision needed. Fast detection of errors improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by reducing waste, rework, and associated downtime, while helping converters to deliver reliable label quality, and secure repeat business.
Matthews explains: “Our high-resolution and variable data printing expertise, combined with the cutting-edge technology from Lake Image Systems, gives converters the confidence they need to meet the high-quality standard of label production required to improve production efficiency. The new R-Scan monitoring and print inspection camera system helps to ensure a significant reduction in waste and provides the assurance needed to increase unattended operation of the press.”
Tony McNulty, Chief Product Officer, Domino, concludes: “We are delighted to have worked with Lake Image Systems to bring the R-Scan monitoring and print inspection camera system to our digital printing customers. This is another great example of how our combined skills and expertise allow us to ‘Do more’ for our customers, with integrated solutions that provide consistent quality with minimal waste.”
