Epson’s SurePress digital label press line – the SurePress L-4733AW and SurePress L-6534VW – have been awarded the Digital Press System Certification by Idealliance.

Both SurePress models using the Wasatch RIP have met the strict requirements of Idealliance’s Digital Press Certification, a program consisting of testing and certification in areas of colour, print properties and print production. 

The Digital Press Certification Program for inkjet systems certifies the capabilities of commercial production inkjet, high speed, cut sheet, and web devices to meet specific print standards. Digital Press System Certification benefits include colour consistency across platforms, cost efficiency, a global standard, and an improved quality control.

With this certification, Epson said it demonstrates its entire press system – including the digital front-end, print engine and paper – meets or exceeds established industry tolerances for excellence in the areas of colorimetric accuracy, uniformity, repeatability, durability, and registration.

Wherever a customer is printing in the world, this certification proves SurePress models with Wasatch RIPs meet the strict Digital Press System Certification requirements to provide the same high-quality colour accuracy from print to print and country to country.

Epson said SurePress digital label presses are designed for colour accuracy, ease of use and to be complimentary with other presses used in a print shop. Whether using a 4, 5 or 6 colour SurePress, the press intelligently manages the file in a 4-colour workflow and calculates the remaining colours to ease operations. 

Additionally, as printing requirements are becoming more exacting graphically, and costs are rising, SurePress digital label presses handle rasterisation from digital TIFF plates created by a RIP directly on-press, eliminating software layers and enabling fast communication of data.

“The SurePress certification underscores its commitment to excellence and dedication to print accuracy,” Idealliance executive director Jordan Gorski said.

“As the demand for consistent and high-quality print grows, Idealliance’s standards across print production such as G7 continue to serve as the foundation of industry standards for colour, print quality and alignment of workflows and supply chains.”
