Allen Datagraph Systems shows Centra HS Digital Label Printer

Allen Datagraph Systems is showing the Centra HS Digital Label Printer for the first time in Europe, at Labelexpo in Brussels. It uses a LED toner system printing CMYK with stochastic screening at 1200 x 600 dpi at speeds up to 9.1 m/min. to a maximum web width up to 327mm. It prints on standard pressure-sensitive materials, which require no top coating.

The new press complements the iTech Centra HS finishing unit. Introduced in 2011 it offers lamination and contour-cut labels of any size and shape on-demand without dies. The finisher also slits and strips the waste matrix for machine or hand application of labels.

Marc Vanover, ADSI VP sales and marketing, said, ‘The Centra series offered an inexpensive turnkey system for handling even the smallest of label runs requiring high-quality, on-demand digital printing of primary and industrial labels. ADS sells to label converters and brand owners, who account for some 25 percent of sales. 'We have been busy refining and extending our digital label systems to give a complete product line that does not involve a large investment cost.’
