dvancements in digital printing technology enable almost limitless substrate capabilities. However, to ensure success, treatment is often necessary prior to printing, painting, or priming onto low-energy surfaces, like plastic.
Digital printing influences manufacturing more than ever before. On industrial scales, it continues to make inroads with production facilities by matching speeds and qualities of analog counterparts for short, custom, versioned runs.
Most automated finishing devices, whether routers or cutters or even laser power machinery, is equipped with proprietary software. To fully deliver on the process of automation, it is integral that the hardware is backed by intelligent software solutions.
Automating the print process involves evaluating the tools on the finishing end. Manufacturers benefit from complementing digital printers with automated routers and cutters. To further streamline processes, it’s cost effective to take advantage of the software solutions available with these finishing devices...
Ink sets used in thermoforming applications are specifically created for this process. They must withstand extreme heat, offer high elasticity, in addition to other characteristics. Here we share some of the products designed for digital printing and thermoforming.
Manufacturers require durable labels in most aspects of their business, whether it be for goods they produce or an object in their own facility. Used in industrial settings and on heavy-duty consumer products, durable labels are exposed to chemicals, liquids, and extreme temperatures.
Digital printing, whether it is for décor, apparel, or signage, is an attractive solution for textiles. Dye-sublimation (dye-sub), digital dye-sub, transfer dye-sub, and direct digital printing are all methods for printing to fabrics.
Manufacturing equipment is rarely turnkey. From concept through production and decoration, items require unique steps to compose a final product. Therefore, when it comes to printing, bespoke solutions are often commissioned to ensure production success. UV LED curing systems are frequently customized to support specific manufacturing goals.
