Delta chooses ixPressia software for new variable data printer

At Labelexpo Europe, Delta Industrial, designer and manufacturer of specialized web converting and packaging equipment, demonstrated its new inkjet label printer module driven by the ixPressia Print Engine software. The full color, fully variable digital inkjet unit is the latest addition to the Delta Mod-Tech portfolio. It can be custom engineered and incorporated into manufacturing and packaging lines for quick-change barcodes, sequential numbering and date coding on packaging lines.

The ixPressia Print Engine software processes full color, grayscale quality variable content to match the press print speed. Features include transparency and ICC color profile support for accurate reproduction. The software enables users to print any combination of static or variable images to give a high level of flexibility for printing ID cards and labels.

Delta president Dave Schiebout said: ‘ixPressia's Color Label software is ideal for our label printer. As well as controlling the printer, the software has a front end that allows us to print variable data, text and images on the fly, with minimal processing time. Customers can add last minute text such as dates, or full color images and barcodes. It's a full and very flexible solution.’

Delta now plans to use ixPressia Print Engine software to upgrade from printing at a width of 70mm to 280mm whilst maintaining a throughput of 0.5 m/sec.

‘The partnership with Delta Industrial is a significant endorsement for ixPressia,’ said Jim Taylor, director of ixPressia. ‘This software provides a complete production-ready, variable data software front-end for on-demand inkjet systems, allowing companies to realize the full potential of their technology and fulfill the strong demand for personalized products.’
