Digital imaging specialist FFEI has launched several new media handling and digital finishing enhancements for its Graphium hybrid digital inkjet label press.
The manufacturer has also added a new orange ink for the device, its third-generation digital UV inkjet press for labels, packaging and speciality print.
The immediately available new features, which FFEI managing director Andy Cook said are entirely user-driven and build on existing strengths, can be retrofitted to existing presses and are being configured with new machines.
“The new features satisfy the requirements of customers who see that the Graphium platform is highly adaptable but needs customisation in order for the product to fit their business entirely,” said Cook. “That element of flexibility is key, every Graphium built is customised to the client’s specific needs.”
A new thin-film modification kit launched for the press is said to make Graphium the first hybrid digital inkjet system able to handle film as thin as 12µm. Graphium’s new closed-loop tension control, advanced encoder and rollers for thin film production mean the handling of 12-250µm films is now more practical.
