FINISHING equipment manufacturer A B Graphic International (ABG) has launched a new single colour print bar module, which has been engineered for integration across the firm’s own finishing systems as well as third-party equipment.
The ABG InkJet is suited to applications including variable data printing, multi-layer labels, security features, barcodes, and pharmaceutical labelling. Features include 360 or 720 DPI resolution, tool-less application, and compatibility across multiple web widths.
ABG said a key advantage is the system’s ability to print directly onto adhesive layers, opening up new possibilities for label converters. Combined with ABG’s fleyeVision inspection system, the firm said InkJet delivers ‘exceptional’ print accuracy and consistent high-resolution output.
The same advanced InkJet technology also powers the ABG Braille module – a complementary solution that applies high-build varnish to create braille text and warning triangles in accordance with industry standards. By using varnishes of different viscosities, the system can also produce ‘tactile’ embellishments on labels.
Michael Leidgschwendner, MD of ABG GmbH and leader of the Inkjet project, said, “The new InkJet range represents a major step forward, giving customers a versatile, high-performance solution that integrates seamlessly with any ABG system, as well as third-party equipment. And by offering everything from one supplier, we’re enabling a more streamlined, efficient and future-proof approach to production, while opening up exciting new possibilities in variable data, security, multi-layer and functional printing.”
