Jenacre Labels installs Domino digital retrofit

Jenacre Labels has integrated the Domino N610i-R digital retrofit module on one of its Nilpeter presses to support short-run production of multi-page peel-and-reveal labels featuring complex variable data.

The UK-based label converter sought an in-line printing technology that would eliminate the need for additional off-line finishing processes required by standalone digital presses. The N610i-R enables digital printing capabilities to be integrated directly into existing flexo lines without expanding the production footprint.

'Digital printing was the obvious answer, but a standalone digital press that would require additional off-line finishing processes was out of the question – both from a cost and logistics point of view. We wanted an in-line solution for our existing Nilpeter presses,' stated David Duncan, managing director at Jenacre Labels.

The converter reports strong results from the investment, with the ability to efficiently run multiple SKUs and consistent print quality. Pre- and on-press adjustments can be made without remixing inks or waiting for plates, boosting production time and efficiency while reducing lead times.

'Domino's technology, expertise and support gave us the confidence to move forward. From initial contact through installation and training, ongoing support has been crucial to the success of this project,' Duncan added.

Michael Matthews, product manager for DP colour at Domino Printing Sciences, noted: 'At Domino, we’re proud to support converters in boosting production flexibility, reducing lead times, and streamlining operations. By integrating digital printing capabilities directly into its existing line, Jenacre Labels has been able to be more responsive to customer demands. Projects like the N610i-R demonstrate our commitment to delivering practical, high-performance solutions that help our customers stay competitive and future-ready.’
