EFI Jetrion 4900 increases resolution

EFI has incorporated a new 720dpi mode in its Jetrion 4900 to increase the print resolution for labels, along with broadening its portfolio of flexo substrates that need no special coating or overlaminating.

The increased print quality uses new firing modes to drive the single-pass printheads, resulting in enhanced reproduction of text and image details. This 720 dpi mode is available for new and existing 4900 customers.

EFI has also added to its portfolio of substrates, and the Jetrion 4830 and 4900 are now compatible with several additional stocks from 3M, Avery Dennison, Flexcon, Raflatac, Ritrama, Spinnaker and Wausau. Label converters will benefit from the increased selections, as well as the economic benefits of low cost of printing UV ink direct-to-substrate.

‘Since its introduction, the EFI Jetrion 4900 has proven to be so successful that we have healthy demand from users around the world wanting to benefit from the surge in variable label content and shorter, more flexible runs,’ explained Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI Jetrion. ‘Offering a higher output resolution option and adding more printable stocks to the machine's capabilities are certain to appeal to all present and future users who want to expand the use of digital printing and benefit from high quality results with the convenience of a fully digital workflow.’

US converter Repacorp recently purchased a third Jetrion press to keep up with customer requests. Tony Heinl, vice president, commented: ‘EFI continues to innovate its Jetrion line of products, which opens up opportunities for us to use our Jetrion digital label presses on new applications while continuing to exceed customer expectations.’
