Dantex has announced the launch of the PicoColour HD and PicoJet 1200 models.
Built on a modular platform, the Picojet 1200 is a true hybrid system, available as a reel-to-reel press with a print width to 350mm and speeds of up to 75mpm, as a bespoke hybrid system where a variety of base and additional colour stations can be custom configured to incorporate features such as full or semi-rotary die cutting and a variety of flexo station options.
The PicoColour HD is built on and benefits from advanced Picojet technology, providing print width to 254mm with speeds of up to 50mpm, and compact inline finishing.
Nekkorb Solutions commercial manager Tash Brokken said, “Pico offers highly productive, affordable label printing; no minimum run quantity; minimal waste; super-fast turnarounds; and it makes label production fast and easy. Modular station options can include flexo, die cut, cold foil, lamination, edge trim, back scoring and rotary or shear slitting”.
In addition, PicoCenta and PicoPilot workflow automation software with touchscreen interface adds to a user-friendly experience. Other features include SuperWhite ink, offering an opacity of 92 per cent in a single pass; SuperText, which delivers super fine text; and DecoTactile for a wide range of textured embellishments.
“PicoJet’s Digital Resolution System (DRS) significantly increases print quality and detail, positioning the PicoJet DRS as groundbreaking in the label and flexible packaging space. Featuring eight grey levels and providing 2400 dpi, this proprietary technology, owned exclusively by Dantex, marks the first time in the industry that a digital inkjet system has reached this level of precision.
“Pico technology also boasts advancements in colour gamut, setting a new benchmark for digital UV inkjet printing, ensuring unparalleled colour accuracy and consistency. With a Delta E of 2, it continues to push the boundaries of colour precision, covering 97.5 per cent of the colour gamut. Utilising CMYK WOVG, Dantex’s eight- colour printing press achieves the highest colour accuracy due to the combination of its incredibly powerful software suite with Dantex’s printing technologies.
“Dantex’s Pico presses have passed a stringent 150-point requirements list which guarantees that the manufacturing supply chain is ‘truly British’. Only those products that pass this test are permitted to carry the Made In Britain mark. The Made in Britain accreditation is an international seal of excellence.”
