InterPrint starts to digitize with dry toner technology Thanks to the Xeikon CX3, InterPrint works with low levels of stock and boosts productivity with no pretreatment needed InterPrint, a company specialised in the production of adhesive and non-adhesive labels on a variety of substrates, has over 20 years’ experience providing its customers with the best quality service. The company has recently added a Xeikon CX3 to its production plant, a digital label press which uses Cheetah technology to digitally print labels on any material with no need for priming beforehand. Tomás Iglesias, CEO of InterPrint, says: “We chose this press for its dry toner technology which enables us to work with low levels of stock and boost our productivity as pre-treatment of substrates is not needed.” Specialised in labels with over 1200 customers in its portfolio, InterPrint produces adhesive and non-adhesive labels on paper, cardboard, PVC,
polyester, heat-transfer labels, hot foil stamped labels, multi-layer labels and security labels. It also produces folded boxes and promotional printed material for various markets such as pharmaceutical labs, large food and drink retailers, and logistics providers. To achieve this, it relies on an extensive production platform including a Xeikon CX3 which stands out for its digital printing capabilities. The company has already digitalised 10% of its production as a result of this investment. Inks and substrates Iglesias is very satisfied with the results obtained with the Xeikon CX3. “This press enables us to use different substrates of varying thickness, including heat sensitive substrates, to produce transparent and white labels
with high levels of opacity. It must also be pointed out that the inks used for dry toner are safe for use with food, since some projects require this compliance, and offer high quality printing, comparable to offset.” With a resolution of 1200 x 3600 dpi, the Xeikon CX3 label press is exclusively designed for self-adhesive and pressure-sensitive labels. It offers all the advantages that have made the Xeikon 3000 series such a unique product line, such as the use of dry toners that comply with the regulations of the United States FDA, Nestlé, Swiss regulations, and also the future European regulation on printing inks
