Labels led the way

摘要

Label converters have been as quick and numerous as any to take advantage of digital printing, and three good recent examples include L'Emballage Tout , Matrix Label Systems , and Nasco. Based in Montreal, L'Emballage Tout has installed the SurePress L-4033A from Epson for high-quality, short run jobs for customers in the retail, food, and beauty industries. Using MicroPiezo ink-jet technology, its six-color (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, orange, and green) water-based ink set produces a great range of colors and consistent results. "We were finding more and more customers needing 500 to 5,000 labels per run," says Yves Tougas, President of L'Emballage Tout. "We'd have to purchase printing plates, and if there were changes in their artwork, we'd have to go out and buy new plates and contin- ually make adjustments. There are times when we would even have to turn away customers with short-run needs. This is what pushed us to invest in a new digital label press."
