2024 has hardly begun and yet, there is excitement brewing for the upcoming Drupa exhibition, held in Dusseldorf this year between the 28th of May and 7th of June.

It has been a long 8 years since the last Drupa in 2016 and frankly, the Printing industry has transformed dramatically in those years.

Gone are the days where a printer could rely purely on “heavy metal” analogue printing. “Digital everything” is part of our world these days, from prepress, to workflows and automations and of course the actual print devices themselves.

More importantly, we no longer think about print as “ink on paper” – it has become so much more.

Printers have diversified dramatically to find their unique selling points, with entire print categories growing daily that did not even exist 8-10 years ago.

Energy and the environment have played a significant role in shaping our landscape in recent years too, with the circular economy and printing

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: JACK MALKI

in a more sustainable manner now the central theme for many printers and brandowners alike.

Jet Technologies is bursting with excitement about the innovations and developments that we will be able to show clients at the Drupa and bring back to Australia shortly after.

Inkjet continues to be a central theme, with product offerings that cover Labels, Packaging, Publishing, Can Printing and many other areas of print and packaging.

The leaps in conventional print are also exciting to demonstrate, with the AsahiEsko “Crystal Clean Connect” a perfect example of that.

Last but not least, we have now opened up our very own Office & Distribution centre in Brisbane, adding to our Sydney and Melbourne HQ’s to better service our QLD clients.

We look forward to seeing you all in Dusseldorf! Jack Malki

Unimax upgrades with New Zealand’s first L350UV SAI

Unimax, a prominent Labels & Packaging printer based in the Auckland suburb of Avondale upgraded to Jet Technologies L350UV SAI S Inkjet printer, making it the very first of its kind in New Zealand.

Sold and supported in combination by Jet Technologies and Fujifilm NZ, the L350UV SAI replaced an older model L350UV, bought over 5 years ago that had completely revolutionised their business, moving them from Letterpress to the Digital age.

Back in 2017, there was disbelief as jobs that required setup times of 4-5 hours on their letterpress machines, would set up and print in a matter of minutes. That enabled Unimax to expand substantially their client base and grow their business in higher-value markets, where precision artwork and multiple SKU’s were no issue at all for their new press.

Along came the new L350UV SAI S and the print results have been taken to the next level, with the addition of additional colours (orange and blue) to substantially increase the colour gamut. Productivity increased by 20% on all jobs and by an astounding 67% for jobs containing Screen’s high opacity white. The range of substrates that Unimax could print onto has also increased substantially with this model, enabling Unimax to print on thinner synthetic stocks, as well as a thicker range of paper and hybrid products.

Unimax Director Dinesh Kumar said “We have always been huge fans of inkjet – we were the first to bring the L350UV into New Zealand and can proudly say that we are now the first with the new SAI model. The original press was extremely reliable over its 5 years with us and upgrading was an easy decision, especially with the service we receive from both Jet Technologies & FFNZ”.

Theia Invests in Indonesia’s First L350UV SAI Printing Press

Digital label printing specialist, Theia, has become the first company in Indonesia and Southeast Asia to invest in the Screen L350UV SAI Inkjet Series through Jet Technologies.

Theia, a division of Cahaya Jakarta, one of Indonesia’s leading label printing companies that was founded in 1991, was setup to focus entirely on digital label printing in its very own facility in Cikarang, just outside of Jakarta.

Danny Lim, Sales and Marketing Director of Theia, said, “We had been watching inkjet technology for many years as we understood that the productivity benefits were substantial. With the L350UV SAI, we have a press that can deliver outstanding quality print on a wide range of materials with productivity that approaches flexo. Our focus is service and quality, and the L350UV allows us to improve our service substantially, whilst maintaining the highest quality standards. It’s a win-win for us.”

“Cahaya Jakarta started out with letterpress printing, before investing in flexographic printing in 2002 and the first industrial digital printing press in Indonesia in 2009. To be able to install the very first L350UV SAI in Indonesia is another exciting milestone for the entire company and our Theia division,” Danny added.

Sold and installed by labels & packaging specialist, Jet Technologies, the L350UV SAI supports printers to significantly increase turn-around speeds for digital printing jobs by automating the process. With its software generated ‘lead in, lead out’ and ‘reverse-feed’ function, the system also works to considerably lower ink and material waste, reducing overhead costs and improving sustainability standards within operations.

Jet Technologies has a long history with Cahaya Jakarta and Theia, having installed an Omet X6 530-wide flexo press at Cahaya Jakarta in 2016, which at the time was Indonesia’s widest and most productive label press.

“We’re excited to have partnered with Theia and the Cahaya Jakarta group to enhance their digital printing production and provide them with a strong advantage in what is an ultra-competitive label printing market in Indonesia,” said Yulianawati, Sales Manager of Jet Technologies Indonesia. “Theia’s dedicated team has ensured that they bring the very best of digital label printing to Indonesia, with HP Indigo presses previously installed and now the addition of a complimentary L350UV inkjet press.

“Installation and training on the L350UV has now been completed – we promised Theia that it would deliver extremely reliable and consistent print – it is pleasing to see that they are achieving those goals.”

The L350UV SAI is the most flexible and automated label production system in its class. The machine offers seven vibrant colours at 60 meters a minutes, (50 meters a minute when using white) and is fully supported by local Jet Technologies and SCREEN factory-trained engineers. The L350 delivers unrivalled colour reproduction as well as superior scalability, enabling it to meet an even wider variety of market needs.

Label Plus Elevates Digital Printing Quality with New Screen L350UV SAI

Commercial label printing specialist, Label Plus, is now providing its customers with the latest advancement in printing technology following its recent investment in the L350UV SAI Inkjet Press from Jet Technologies, making it the very first of its kind in Queensland.

Label Plus offers a wide variety of self-adhesive labels from its production site in Luscombe, Queensland, with its sister- company (Labelhouse) based in Melbourne, Victoria. Its printing production includes flexography, offset and digital and its diverse customer-base is across pharma, health & beauty, chemical, food, household and wine.

“Our company’s objective is to achieve complete customer satisfaction in all facets of our operations and to be a preferred supplier within the printing industry,” explained James Atkins, General Manager of Label Plus. “Therefore, our focus is on providing excellent quality, whilst maintaining a flexible approach to production, thus offering short lead times at a competitive price.”

“In a challenging industry, Label Plus has evolved into a dynamic organisation, by seeking and embracing new technologies and systems. We’re excited to be elevating our printing quality and customer service even higher with the addition of the L350UV SAI.”

Sold and installed by labels & packaging specialist, Jet Technologies in combination with Screen Australia, the L350UV SAI supports printers to significantly increase turn-around speeds for digital printing jobs by automating the process. With its software generated ‘lead in, lead out’ and ‘reverse-feed’ function, the system also works

to considerably lower ink and material waste, reducing overhead costs and improving sustainability standards within operations.

The L350UV SAI is the most flexible and automated label production system in its class. The machine offers seven vibrant colours at 60 meters a minutes, (50 meters a minute when using white) and is fully supported by local Jet Technologies and SCREEN factory-trained engineers. The L350 delivers unrivalled colour reproduction as well as superior scalability, enabling it to meet an even wider variety of market needs.

“We’re excited to have partnered with Label Plus to enhance their digital printing production and provide the company with the necessary edge to remain on top in a competitive industry,” said David Reece, Sales Director of Jet Technologies.“Installation and training on the L350UV has now been completed and the printing press is not only meeting, but exceeding Label Plus’ well-informed expectations.”

Label Plus added the L350UV SAI to their digital label production capabilities after a very thorough evaluation process of a number of options, including spending time with Jet Technologies in the UK at some impressive L350UV SAI users, in order to properly understand the benefits and how it was being utilized in another sophisticated market.

ASAHI PHOTOPRODUCTS has recently achieved a significant milestone by obtaining a carbon-neutral certification in partnership with Carbon Trust for their AWP-DEW CleanPrint flexographic plates, which adhere to PAS 2060 standards and can be rinsed with water. This certification is periodically reviewed and updated, ensuring that the carbon reduction criteria become increasingly stringent with each iteration. The primary goal of this certification is to reduce the carbon footprint of these products throughout their entire lifecycle, including the procurement of raw materials, packaging, product delivery, usage by consumers, and eventual disposal.

The AWP-DEW CleanPrint plates are designed for high-quality flexographic printing applications, such as flexible packaging and labels. Developed by Asahi’s team of chemical engineers, these plates are distinguished by their ability to efficiently transfer ink to the printing surface, thereby minimising the need for frequent cleaning. This feature ensures consistent print quality and enhances the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within the printing industry.

Jet now offers the Asahi AFPTM-R solvent washable plate, enhancing environmental sustainability and boosting pre-press and press efficiency. It reduces solvent use by 30% and cuts platemaking time by 50%, saving both time and energy. This advancement marks a significant step in Asahi’s commitment to sustainable product development. Designed for high-quality flexible packaging, labels, and paper applications, this hard flexo plate outperforms standard solvent-wash plates through several functional improvements.

MONOLOX FIXED ANILOX PRINTING

Take the complexity out of label printing

Correct anilox selection is one of the biggest hurdles in printing for spot colours. Each change brings the potential for errors, waste, and unnecessary cost – eating into your capacity.

Rather than deliberating over which anilox to use for each colour, or struggling to make your flexo labels look like your digital labels, consider switching to Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing.

What is Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing?

Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing is a revolution for the flexo industry. As label designs become more complex, this process makes it possible to produce any spot colour using just one anilox volume, the specially formulated PureTone® ink range, and a bespoke mixing database. As a result, printers can install a fixed anilox set without the need to change rollers between jobs. It ensures instant colour matching and perfect prints, every time.

Benefits for your business

With pressures mounting in terms of short runs, high volumes, and compressed lead times, it’s important that you can protect your margins and operate e ciently. Fixed Anilox Printing helps you achieve just that.

Save time selecting the right roll

Minimise press downtime

Remove variability from anilox selection

Have control and consistency in your prints

Deliver a service that stands out in a crowded print landscape

Ease transition from digital

With Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing, it’s easy to manage digital to flexo press transitions. PureTone’s unique high-strength formulation means that, when used alongside calibration so ware, you can achieve exemplary run-to-run consistency and repeatability across di erent print methods, making it simpler to scale jobs.

Changeover

It’s easy to make the change to Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing – many converters are managing it in less than a week. This process has already proven its success with many leading label printers, and is easy to understand and implement. The Pulse Roll Label Products team will be on hand to lend you their full support with the transition.
