Mark Andy launches Digital Series iQ press

Digital Series iQ can be configured with up to seven UV inkjet colors (CMYKOV+WW). Hybrid converting components can be integrated to meet each customer’s specific requirements. Print stations, semi-rotary die-cutting, rail system, and in-line slitting are popular options selected by some early adopters. 

The press achieves speeds up to 230 ft/min (70 m/min) in rapid production mode and integrates Esko and Global Graphics software, including ScreenPro for workflow and digital front-end processes. 

‘We are excited for the partnership with Mark Andy, a company with a reputation for prioritizing their customers’ needs and new technology,’ commented David Ellen, divisional director of Domino Digital Printing Solutions. ‘By marrying its best-in-class flexographic printing and converting machinery with Domino’s renowned inkjet technology, we expect Digital Series iQ to emerge as a leading hybrid solution for a wide variety of applications.’
