INX will unveil new dispenser at Labelexpo Americas 2016

INX plans to unveil the new HMJ-250 medium batch automated ink dispenser and will exhibit the NW210 inkjet UV digital narrow press and ION label inks. The HMJ-250 is a medium-sized and affordable batch ink dispenser built for INX by HMJ tech. The machine boasts many features including fully automated valve cleaning and single point dispensing into any container, from narrow-neck jugs to six-gallon pails. The system is designed to work with HMJ tech’s modular media farm, which can draw from a wide range of sources including kits, drums and bulk containers.

The HMJ-250 can be customized for any ink room and can be configured for up to 24 stations of water-based, UV-curable or solvent-based inks. The solid-state industrial control system offers dispensing which can produce a four-ingredient gallon of ink in 90 seconds.

The NW210 inkjet UV digital narrow web press delivers single pass output on any label stock at speeds of up to 80 feet per minute, combining printing and conversion to produce color printed labels at a maximum printing width of 210mm. It also incorporates a Spartanics laser die-cutting station and Xaar patented technology with multiple drop sizes and color ink channels.

INX also will showcase its AquaTech ION label inks at the show. These water-based flexographic printing ink formulations provide press stability over a wide range of speeds. The ION-T Thermal series is specifically designed for printers using higher line anilox rolls of up to 1500 lines. The ION-P series has produced outstanding results on most prime label substrates, in addition to semi-gloss, EDP and many pressure sensitive and tag liners.
