The D250 replaces a Daco DTD250 that was purchased a few years ago for short run and quick change over jobs, which saw Label Metrics running up to 40- 50 jobs a day. The longer running jobs are manufactured on a Daco PLD350 machines with 1m (40in) unwinds and semi-automatic turret rewinding.

Shaun Roberts, Label Metrics managing director, explained: ‘We noticed that some of the so-called short run jobs were requiring several roll changes and the Daco DTD250 only had a 1,000 linear meter unwind so the decision was taken to purchase a Daco D250 with a 2,000 linear meter unwind and Daco part exchanged our Daco DTD250.’

Daco Solutions sales manager, Mark Laurence, added: ‘We developed a web advance for the D250 because Label Metrics liked the feature on its existing Daco DSI330. When coupled with a short web path, Daco DBS back scorer and touchscreen with job storage, the D250 is set to accelerate Label Metrics short run work considerably.’
