Domino adds K600i White digital print module

The module, to be seen first at Labelexpo Europe 2017, is targeted primarily at printers looking for a digital alternative to screen printing, offering instantaneous job change, minimal maintenance, variable data printing capability and eliminating the need to purchase screens.

The system is particularly well-suited to printing high-definition white text in very small point sizes onto personal care labels and for other transparent label applications.

With variable data print capability, the K600i White can also be used for promotions such as personalizing with different names, places and promotional games. It can also be readily integrated into an existing PDF workflow.

Domino has also developed fluorescent ink for the K600i piezo drop-on-demand inkjet printer, intended for security printing and brand protection applications. UV80CL ink prints clear, but fluoresces green under an ultraviolet UV-A 365nm blacklight. It can be used to print 2D codes, barcodes, alpha numeric codes, images, graphics and personalized data printing.

The Domino K600i can be integrated into an existing web-fed press, or used as a standalone roll-to-roll option or finishing line, and the UV80CL ink is compatible with standard medias including polyethylene, polypropylene, and coated and uncoated papers.

At Labelexpo Europe 2017, the company further shows its latest DFE workflow designed for the N-Series range of digital color presses. DFE v2.0 maintains compatibility with the latest Esko code base. The new screener, Domino ScreenPro, combines several processes into a single JDF workflow, which enhances speed and efficiency as well as enabling full off-line VDP operation. The need for manual file conversions is removed, while key information such as ‘lead-in/lead-out’, ‘copy count by quantity’ or ‘print run length’ can be passed from the DFE directly to the digital press. The new workflow adds the ability to work with various VDP formats, such as multiple page PDF and PDF/VT files for the printing of variable data, barcodes and 2D barcodes.
