Domino unveils new digital retrofit module at Labelexpo

Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) will unveil its new digital retrofit module developed for integration or retrofitting into flexographic presses to offer hybrid printing at Labelexpo Europe 2023.  

The event, which takes place between September 11-14 2023 in Brussels, Belgium, offers a platform for printers and converters of labels, flexible packaging, and folding cartons to explore the latest advancements in label printing technology.   

‘We are very pleased to announce that we will be returning to Labelexpo Europe for 2023,’ said Peter Van Riel, European commercial director – digital printing, Domino. ‘The most eagerly anticipated event in the European label converting calendar is all the more exciting after a four-year break, and we can’t wait to welcome visitors back to the Domino stand.’  

At Hall 9, booth 9A60, Brussels Expo, Domino will showcase a comprehensive range of full-color label presses and monochrome digital printing technology. Visitors to the stand will be invited for live demonstrations of Domino’s products and will have the opportunity to discuss their requirements with Domino experts. 

Recognizing the commercial appeal of digital printing, many conventional label and packaging printers are looking to integrate digital hybrid options into their already robust flexographic workflows. Domino supports this transition with the launch of Domino’s new digital retrofit module – allowing OEMs and converters to add Domino’s digital inkjet printing engine into their existing flexographic and finishing lines. 

David Ellen, divisional director – digital printing, Domino, said: ‘Hybrid presses are cutting costs for converters through just-in-time delivery, short-run cost efficiency, and waste reduction – they also allow flexo print providers to stay current with market trends and meet the demands of their clients. Domino’s digital retrofit module provides a lower cost, short cut process for customers looking to build hybrid flexibility into their flexographic presses.’  

More information about Domino’s new digital retrofit module will be revealed in the weeks to come.  

Visitors to Labelexpo Europe 2023 can also expect an announcement around the upcoming release of a new ripping technology to significantly improve production throughput for label converters.  

‘In digital printing, the job processing speeds have a significant impact on overall production capacity, and a front-end solution supporting a label press will ultimately determine the maximum speed of the line,’ continued Ellen. ‘This has long been a challenge for converters – our latest development provides a significant step change in data processing capabilities.’ 

In line with this commitment, Domino has invested in its customer service capabilities, creating a new Digital Centre of Excellence with a full technology demo center, and forming a team of industry experts dedicated to helping customers to thrive in the digital printing era. Domino’s Solutions Programme team will be on hand throughout the week at Labelexpo Europe 2023 to discuss how Domino can support individual businesses in their digital transformation.   

‘Our Digital Centre of Excellence and Digital Solutions Programme team are a testament to our commitment to our customers’ success, providing them with the capability to learn and adapt to the evolving industry landscape,’ said Van Riel. ‘I invite you to visit us at Labelexpo and experience the Domino Difference first hand.’
