ILS operates a number of HP Indigo presses, and has been an early adopter of HP Indigo’s fourth generation press technology in the form of the 20000 model.

The Digicon 3000, developed in a partnership between Edale and AB Graphic, is a 762mm-wide (30in) digital print finishing system that enables printers to convert pressure-sensitive labels and flexible packaging when run in-line with the HP Indigo 20000 digital press.

Jay Dollries, owner and chief executive officer of ILS, said: ‘The partnership between AB Graphic and Edale, in conjunction with ILS’s involvement in all phases of the Digicon’s development, has resulted in the most unique, advanced digital finishing line in the marketplace.  As ILS continually focuses on growing our presence in the flexible packaging and shrink sleeve marketplaces the combination of the HP Indigo 20000 and the Digicon 3000 will be one of our major catalysts.’

Edale managing director James Boughton said: ‘Edale prides itself on solving problems and working with our customers and suppliers to develop the right products as markets change and evolve, and alongside our technology partner AB Graphic we have successfully achieved this with the  Digicon 3000.’
