Allprint installs first Epson SurePress in Ireland

The investment, alongside an Omega Digicon digital finishing machine, is said to be key to the company’s expansion into short-run digital label printing and also allows it to maximize output on existing flexo presses.

Allprint Design & Print specializes in self-adhesive label production, offering its clients everything from initial concept to label design and manufacture of finished product.

‘With on-site control we are able to provide what is required by our clientele – a fast, efficient and reliable service,’ said Norman Malcomson, MD, Allprint Design & Print. ‘To maintain this service we needed an answer to short-run label production and if possible, free production capacity on our larger presses.’

Now installed for six months, the Surepress L-4033AW press is said to have improved lead times on short-run jobs, with no plates required, and has enabled same day production using existing tooling on the Digicon.

Malcomson said: ‘With the increasing demand for more complex and shorter-run jobs, the Epson SurePress L-4033AW has been the right solution for our short-run label printing, increasing our capacity, improving our lead times and opening new markets for ourselves.’
