Agfa unveils 6-color Dotrix Modular LM at Ipex

Agfa Graphics will launch its Dotrix Modular LM at Ipex and demonstrate the low-migration packaging applications the digital press is designed to handle. ‘Printing with low-migration inks is crucial in the food service industry, ensuring that no contamination occurs from the ink on the outside of the packaging to the food inside,’ says the company.  

Agfa's new low-migration ink, Agorix LM, will also be featured in demonstrations taking place on its stand D220 in Hall 11.  

‘As an innovator in the development of industrial UV inkjet, Agfa is poised to define the most practical and efficient methods available for package printing,’ said Jan de Vooght, head of sales and marketing, industrial single pass inkjet. ‘UV inkjet printing methods are green and safe and are considered the future of the package printing industry. Agfa has worked closely with end users, print head manufacturers and industry experts to launch the low migration application. To packaging designers, printers, converters and brand owners this is the most advanced and most cost efficient system on the market for short and medium runs of high quality printing.’

The new Dotrix Modular LM on the booth will also feature 6-color printing, up to 90 percent reproduction of Pantone colors through the use of Apogee ColorTune Spot and Apogee ColorTune CMM; medium web (63 cm) single pass inkjet UV printing at 32m/min; and in-line rotary sheet cutter and stacker with variable sheet size cutting for folding carton and plastic substrates.
