Stork Prints launches digital press

At Labelexpo Europe, Stork Prints will launch a single pass, 4-color digital label press with in-line varnishing and die-cutting. The DSI press has a web width of 13in (330mm) and runs at speeds up to 35 m/min. Native print resolution is 360dpi, with an apparent resolution, with grayscale enhancement, of 1,000dpi. Tonal values down to 1 percent can be achieved.

The press uses Xaar’s 1001 inkjet heads, optimized with proprietary technology from Stork’s Veco division. The UV ink is ‘fixed’ by inter-station LED lamps before final curing to enhance the quality of dot formation.

The first commercial customer for the press is Kolibri Labels in Holland.
