Germark invests in Domino N610i to add inkjet printing

Domino welcomed Iban Cid, president of Germark, onto its stand on the opening morning of Labelexpo Europe 2017, when he came to take ownership of a 7-color N610i inkjet label press, being demonstrated on the Domino stand. The press will be delivered to the Barcelona-based company immediately after the show. One of the early adopters of digital printing technology, this investment represents Germark’s first step into digital inkjet printing.

Germark was the first company in Spain to invest in a digital label press in 2000, and also the first to invest in a printing, adhesive and silicone coating press in 2008. Its first venture into digital printing was with a dry toner press but switched to liquid toner in 2006.

‘Domino’s N610i digital ink jet press is a good complement to our existing print technologies, enabling us to now offer a complete range of solutions to our customers,’ said Cid.

‘We conducted extensive research and visited two of Domino’s existing N610i customers in the UK and France before deciding to invest in a 7-color Domino N610i label press. We were particularly impressed by the high print quality, the cost-effective production costs, and with the added value capability to print digitally textured labels. In addition, the high opacity of the white ink will enable us to replace conventional silk-screen jobs with ink jet for short print runs.

‘We are delighted to be introducing Domino’s inkjet technology into our portfolio, providing our clients with the opportunity to be more competitive and allowing us to give our customers a better service.’

At Labelexpo Europe 2017, Domino is showcasing printing on shrink sleeves using its UV90 6-color UV-curable ink set operating in the N610i inkjet label press.
