Impression Technology Europe (ITE) has built on the success of its Eclipse LF3 - "the first true table-top digital label finishing machine with a host of the specifications more common on larger models" - by launching the Eclipse LF350.
The first 'bridge' machine from ITE, the LF350 is said to sit just as easily in the small order market as it does in the bulk order sections of the industry while offering high productivity, low cost and finished to testing industrial standards.
Roy Burton, MD of ITE, explains: "We had identified the fact that a small footprint, low investment label finisher just wasn't available and yet the demand was. With the growth of the small order market the LF3 was the obvious machine to start with, but it soon became apparent that larger digital label printers were also looking for something like this albeit with a higher specification. The result was the LF350. We thought the response would be good but we were taken by surprise with orders being placed at the very first showing of the machine."
The LF350's specification includes supporting media widths of 100-350mm and an ability to cut up to labels 800mm long. The twin cutting blades that are standard on this machine have individual depth control and are supported by five slitting blades, giving "amazing flexibility and productivity".
Supported and unsupported lamination handling is standard and the machine has double dancer bars for paper feed with positional intelligence as well as full waste matrix removal.
