A strategic alliance between the Switzerland’s GRE Engineering and French inkjet printing systems manufacturer Impika will integrate the product lines of both companies. GRE provides tailored converting systems for labels, business forms and packaging, and Impika’s Drop on Demand range will complement these with print engines capable of printing variable data in high resolution colour on small and medium width substrates at high speeds.
At IPEX 2006 the companies jointly presented the IPS C-9000 high resolution, full colour DOD printing system in combination with GRE converting equipment for production of high quality labels using UV curable inks. The IPS C-9000 prints text and graphics at 900dpi (vdot) over widths of up to 429mm.
“We view digital printing technology as a natural progression to our product range,” states Jules Farkas of GRE. With the growing demand for variable data printing and JIT delivery the benefits of partnering with a supplier of DOD digital print engines are obvious. The ability to offer both monochrome and four colour digital print capabilities on our converting platforms will enhance our product offering.”
