The global launch of the Nilpeter Panorama product line includes the 5-colour DP-3 UV-Inkjet Label Press that combines Nilpeter’s expertise in web handling technology with advanced inkjet printing and workflow. “This integrated approach to single-pass digital printing from a single supplier offers users many operational benefits, including high performance and very effective up-time through close integration of digital print and label converting,” said the OEM.
Designed for fast set-ups and quick job turnarounds, the Panorama product line produces a variety of label jobs in short-to-medium run lengths with minimum waste. Nilpeter added that users can meet brand-owners’ demands for high quality labels in smaller quantities inline. Nilpeter has adapted several of its inline finishing modules to digital production. They include a web infeed, varnishing unit, QC-Die-cutting system, smart matrix stripping, length slitting and small-roll dual rewinds. A mark sensor allows the precise re-inserting of webs for reverse printing, or overprinting of pre-printed webs, including variable data. The product line has a maximum printing width of 12.67 inches. It prints up to 164 feet per minute using paper or filmic label laminates from 90 to 350 microns. This comparatively high level of productivity equates to 173 square feet per minute. High-definition UV-inks are used for CMYK, with an opaque white ink as standard for printing transparent films and metallic foils.
