Labeltape Group buys Epson SurePress L-4033AW
The Labeltape Group has purchased and installed an Epson SurePress L-4033AW for label printing services at its Labeltape and A-Flex Label businesses.

The Labeltape Group owns and operates Labeltape in Caledonia, Michigan and A-Flex Label in Willowbrook, Illinois.
The Epson SurePress L-4033AW is installed at the A-Flex Label facility, producing labels for both locations that serve a broad range of markets including medical, food, industrial, specialty, wine, and personal care.
Labeltape Group president Tom Carroll said: ‘Up until now we have run flexo presses in both locations, which lends itself nicely to medium and larger run jobs. However, the industry has changed dramatically over the past several years, and we were seeing a greater need for a digital solution that would produce shorter run jobs with quick turnaround and higher color quality.
‘We started our search for a digital solution and knew of a couple other shops that had purchased a SurePress. We evaluated all the solutions available, from the low end table top presses to the high end expensive solutions, and found the Epson SurePress to provide a robust offering with a great value proposition, and something that fit within our price point.’
Carroll added: ‘One of the great things about the SurePress that is unlike other offerings is its demonstrated ability to print on almost any substrate it's presented with – so far there hasn't been anything it hasn't been able to do well, and with great accuracy and color registration.
‘We also purchased the DC330-Mini from Grafisk Maskinfabrik – a digital finishing machine that couples perfectly with the SurePress, providing a fully integrated converting line for labels. This combination gives us the ability to do great short-run work for our clients.’
Driving the SurePress L-4033AW is the included Wasatch SoftRIP RIP and print management software.
Mark Elsbernd, North America region sales manager at Epson America, said: ‘We are proud to work with companies like the Labeltape Group that are dedicated to providing superior labeling and packaging solutions to its customers.
‘The SurePress L-4033AW was designed to print short-run, high-quality labels on various substrates, which gives Labeltape the ideal, most cost-effective solution for creating prime labels for their clients.’
