Jetsci Global from Monotech Systems has introduced its latest innovation, the Jetsci dSpark Hybrid+, an advanced digital label finishing and converting machine. The launch marks another addition to its portfolio of digital label and packaging printing & converting and finishing solutions, the company said.
The new 330 mm wide press is designed to finish and convert digitally printed labels and seamlessly integrate with conventional or digital printing processes, expanding its versatility.
Driven by inkjet technology using UV curable fluids, the dSpark Hybrid+ enhances product labels and packaging to new dimensions, offering a complete solution to label and packaging printers and converters.Â
According to the company, the dSpark Hybrid+ is compatible with a wide array of digitally or conventionally printed substrates for enhancements. The web cleaner and an inline surface treatment corona unit ensure impeccable preparation for the enhancement process.
The press has two fully servo-driven spot registered flexo printing units. The first unit is pre-inkjet and can be employed for last-minute color additions to labels, security printing, etc., — providing flexibility in label customization.
The second fully servo-driven spot registered flexo unit, post inkjet station further enhances labels and packaging in real-time, adding to the press’ comprehensive capabilities. The cold foil setup, driven by either digital UV inkjet or the second flexo unit, provides users with the flexibility to choose based on job requirements, featuring a differential unwind and rewind shafts for efficient foil usage. Additionally, it may be used for security and special ink applications.
Moving ahead, the UV inkjet Digital Varnish unit offers high build, variable deposition varnish, high gloss, or digital foil applications. With resolutions of up to 1440 dpi and a speed of up to 35 meters per minute, this unit sets a new benchmark in label finishing, Monotech said.
The dSpark Hybrid+ is equipped with a semi/full rotary die-cut station, boasting quick setup features, waste matrix rewind, slitting capabilities, and a full servo-driven dual rewind system. This ensures efficiency and precision in the finishing and converting process.
The company says the chilled drum at each UV curing station makes the dSpark Hybrid+ an ideal choice for all labels and packaging materials, including heat-sensitive and a wide range of unsupported substrates, allowing the press to be compatible with a gamut of enhancement options. The all-in-one solution represents a significant investment for label and packaging printers and converters seeking high performance and versatility.
