Sid Sistemas installs ArrowJet Aqua 330R and DPR Taurus

Arrow Systems, in collaboration with its authorized Spanish dealer Katun Corporation, has installed an ArrowJet 330R high-resolution digital label press and DPR Taurus laser finisher at Sid Sistemas de Impresión Diseño gráfico y web, located in Calamocha and Calatayud, Spain.

At the heart of this installation is the ArrowJet 330R’s water-based pigment inkjet engine, capable of delivering a true 1600×1600 DPI resolution. Powered by Swiss-compliant, food-safe inks, the system enables Sid Sistemas to serve food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetics brands markets that increasingly demand regulatory clarity, migration-safe inks and traceable supply chains.

With global studies showing that over 68 percent of food and pharmaceutical brands now prioritize compliant digital packaging and 41 percent are switching to water-based technologies to reduce chemical risk, the ArrowJet platform positions Sid Sistemas at the forefront of safety-driven label production.

The press’s high durability pigment formulation also ensures resistance to moisture, chemicals and UV exposure critical for premium consumer labels that must look flawless from warehouse to shelf.

Shaan Patel, director at Arrow Systems, said 'This is more than an equipment placement. It’s a long-term investment into the future of safe, high-resolution, environmentally responsible label production. Sid Sistemas now has the power to deliver full-color, 1600 DPI output using water-based pigment inks that meet Swiss Ordinance standards. It opens the door to food, pharma and specialty markets where print precision and compliance are non-negotiable. We are excited to support their vision and proud to partner with Katun Corporation in expanding cutting-edge solutions across Spain.'

Santiago Alonso Marco, director at Sid Sistemas de Impresión, said: 'We knew we needed technology that wasn’t just modern, but future-proof. The ArrowJet 330R impressed us immediately with color accuracy, the crispness of the short run output and the security of water-based, food-safe inks aligned perfectly with our direction. We serve clients in food packaging, cosmetics, beverages, nutraceuticals, and we are seeing demand rise sharply. With the ArrowJet and Taurus solution, we can cut lead times, improve consistency and open new revenue streams with small-batch, high-mix, fast-turnaround jobs. This installation is the beginning of a bigger transformation for our business.'

The Spanish label market is growing at an estimated 6.5 percent annually, and consumer categories like nutraceuticals and premium cosmetics are rising even faster at 9.2 percent and 7.8 percent, respectively. Sid Sistemas now has the technology to capitalize on some of Europe’s fastest-expanding segments.

The integrated Taurus laser finisher further streamlines production with precision die-cutting, allowing Sid Sistemas to offer both short-run and mid-volume jobs without the delays or tooling costs of traditional finishing workflows.

One of the decisive factors behind Sid Sistemas’ investment was Arrow Systems’ renowned 24/7 global support model, providing continuous access to expert technicians, remote diagnostics, color management assistance and rapid-response service. This ensures maximum uptime essential for businesses handling mission-critical production for food, pharmaceutical and medical clients.

Patel said: 'Technology is only as good as the support behind it. Our 24/7 service commitment ensures Sid Sistemas can run confidently, day and night. We don’t just install machines; we build long-term partnerships.'
