DANTEX Group has revealed how it helped Spectrum Digital Labels expand its digital printing capabilities by adding a second digital press – the PicoJet 1200 DRS with CMYK + white and advanced inline flexo and lamination capabilities.
Following the installation of a PicoJet 330 in 2021, which has since produced over 100 million labels, Spectrum wanted to increase capacity while extending its reach into the food packaging sector. The addition of a second press aims to support this growth by increasing label printing volumes and enabling high-performance printing on film-based packaging materials.
Key factors in the decision to invest in a second PicoJet included ‘enhanced’ unwind and rewind systems for improved tension stability and additional corona and cooling units. Furthermore, the pre-digital LED flexo station enables flood coat printing and priming, expanding the range of materials Spectrum can process.
Joe Preddy, MD at Spectrum Digital Labels, said, “Our first PicoJet has been a fantastic investment, proving to be an absolute workhorse in production. As our business continues to grow, particularly into new markets such as food packaging, it made complete sense to invest in a PicoJet 1200 DRS. The support we’ve had from Dantex has been first-class throughout.”
Richard Bunney, Dantex’s group MD, added, “Spectrum Digital Labels has been a valued partner for years, and we are delighted to continue supporting their business growth. Their latest investment is a testament to the reliability, performance and quality that our technology delivers. We look forward to seeing them further expand their presence in the food packaging sector.”
