Narrow Format Theatre Programme 21st February 2012
11.30-12.00 Chairman’s opening remarks Peter Mayhew, Director, Lyra Research Europe
12.00-12.30 Hybrid InkJet/Flexo- The best of both worlds? This presentation describes an installation of a full-colour inkjet system onto an existing flexo press in Gothenburg in Sweden. The prospect of retro-fitting inkjet to existing flexo equipment is very attractive to any label convertor who is seeing average run lengths reduce. The target is a combined system that can run flexo on long runs, inkjet on short runs and perhaps combine the two for medium-length jobs (for example printing block colours with flexo but text or photo images with inkjet). During any new project of this nature there are issues that arise, this presentation will explore these issues and describe the solutions found and the customer’s experience of the system after several months of use, and in particular how the cost-per-print of inkjet compares to flexo printing. John Corrall, Managing Director, Industrial Inkjet Ltd
12.30-13.00 Advanced Industrial Digital Printing Solutions The presentation will focus on the broad range of application possibilities by using Atlantic Zeiser’s DoD (Drop on Demand) digital inkjet printing technology. Explanations of the advantages of industrial digital printing regarding minimized downtimes within the printing process through print job changes, maximized versatility and flexibility in printing variable data on different materials and formats. Juan Carlos Gallardo Hernandéz , Sales Director, Atlantic Zeiser GmbH
13.00-13.30 Impresión bajo demanda: Un negocio rentable (Print on demand: A profitable business) La tendencia actual de la demanda en el sector de las Artes Gráficas hace que las empresas que solo disponen de equipos industriales se enfrenten a dificultades, ya que pierden la rentabilidad de sus equipos, o bien, si descartan pedidos por no llegar a un volumen mínimo, pueden llegar a perder al cliente. Con el fin de evitar esta situación y ser capaces de adaptarse la nueva tendencia del mercado, existen nuevas soluciones de personalización y de baja producción que permiten ampliar las posibilidades de negocio, y ofrecer una amplia gama de aplicaciones y productos personalizados y que por el nivel de inversión que suponen, son altamente rentables. Xavier Carrera, Color Business Development Manager, Roland DG Iberia
13.30-14.30 Lunch
14.30-15.00 Tirajes Cortos De Etiquetas Autoadhesivas Short Run Label Manufacturing) Is it possible to make money with real short run Label manufacturing and are the current digital printing devices appropriate to do it? What demands the Label Market? How we can do it? These are the basic questions to answer in order to face this new challenge today. During the last 10 years, all the traditional devices for Industrial Digital printing have become more productive and begin to compete to U.V. Flexo technology and of course increasing the machinery investment levels. Then, the short run Label manufacturing needs some new answer in order to reach an effective and accessible solution. In this case, Jordi Garcés will explore some possible solutions to enter or improve in the world of Short run Label manufacturing. Jordi Garcés, D+D+I Manager, CINTA-PLAST S.A.
