In the evolving landscape of label printing, the MPS EF Symjet hybrid machine, with its Domino inkjet print engine, sets a new benchmark for efficiency, versatility, and print quality, according to Tash Brokken, commercial manager at Nekkorb Solutions.
“This cutting-edge machine combines the strengths of flexographic printing with state-of-the-art digital technology, offering label manufacturers unparalleled flexibility and productivity,” Brokken said.
“At its core, the MPS EF Symjet is built on the robust MPS EF platform, renowned for its precision and user- friendly operation. The addition of Domino’s inkjet technology elevates this press to a hybrid marvel, seamlessly integrating traditional and digital workflows. This hybrid capability enables printers to handle short-run, variable data jobs alongside longer production runs without the need for multiple machines, reducing operational complexity and maximising return on investment.
“One of the standout features of the MPS EF Symjet is its high speed performance. The Domino engine delivers impressive digital speeds of up to 70 metres per minute, ensuring that even the most demanding production schedules are met with ease. Combined with MPS’s advanced web control system, the Symjet guarantees consistent quality and accuracy, even at top speeds.
“The machine’s ability to switch effortlessly between flexo and digital printing is another game-changer. Users can apply spot colours, varnishes, or cold foils through flexo units, while the digital module provides vibrant full-colour printing with up to seven UV-curable ink colours, including opaque white. This flexibility enables the production of complex, high-value labels in a single pass, reducing waste and time while enhancing creative possibilities.
“Sustainability is another key benefit of the MPS EF Symjet. By enabling on-demand printing, it minimises waste associated with overproduction and setup. Domino’s environmentally friendly UV ink system further supports greener production practices, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the printing industry.
“In addition to its technological prowess, the Symjet boasts an intuitive operator interface, ensuring ease of use and reduced downtime. The machine is designed for quick setup and changeovers, further enhancing efficiency for businesses handling diverse print jobs.
“For label manufacturers seeking a future-proof solution, the MPS EF Symjet represents a transformative investment. By blending the reliability of flexo with the agility of digital, it delivers unmatched performance, empowering businesses to meet market demands while staying ahead of the competition.”
