Incorporating a 7-color Domino N610i inkjet integration module with an AB Graphic Digicon Series 3, the press will be installed at the Sinel plant in Barcelona in the first quarter of 2018.

This second modular, hybrid printing system will be used for the production of high quality, self-adhesive labels combining UV flexo, UV inkjet printing and premium embellishment tools, and will provide Autajon (Sinel) with additional production capacity.

Joaquim Pérez, general manager at Autajon (Sinel), said: ‘We are already running our first Domino hybrid press almost at maximum capacity and with increasing demand for specialized labels, we need to further increase our production capability. This system allows us maximum flexibility and provides us with a solution to transfer conventional jobs from flexo to hybrid, enabling us to produce complex applications that combine flexo and UV inkjet, with die cutting, and related finishing and embellishment options.’

Autajon (Sinel) is part of the international Autajon Group, headquartered in Montelimar, France. This latest order reaffirms Autajon’s commitment to UV inkjet technology and further expands Domino’s UV inkjet capacity within the group, which is already installed at multiple production sites. The order was placed at Labelexpo Europe 2017.
