The new machine will complement ProPrint Group’s Screen digital press installed in December 2021, increasing overall capacity for high-quality embellished labels to grow the company’s digital labeling division. 

The latest bespoke Digicon Series 3 is a modular system allowing flexibility in finishing units to suit specific customer requirements. The machine configured for ProPrint Group includes a flexo printing station, a flatbed silkscreen, semi-rotary die-cutting, matrix waste stripping, servo driven turret rewind, auto slit knives and a 100 percent camera inspection.

AB Graphic installed the new Digicon Series 3 during the last week of March, providing training and testing on-site. ProPrint will be trialing a variety of print jobs for various sectors in liaison with customer brands and in-house ProPrint artwork to ensure every element of the set-up is perfectly calibrated and ready for print orders.

‘The Digicon 3 is modular, giving us the flexibility to tailor the machine to complement our existing infrastructure. Therefore, we can optimize efficiency and open up more capacity for the choice of finishes customers want in the short lead times we offer,’ commented James Denny, owner of Owner James Denny, co-founder and director of ProPrint Group.
