At Labelexpo 2015 Nilpeter will launch the Panorama DP-3 five colour UV-inkjet unit which combines Nilpeter’s expertise in web handling technology with advanced inkjet printing and workflow.
Designed for fast setups and quick job turnarounds, the Panorama is highly productive in the fastest growing of all label sectors. It produces a variety of label jobs in short-to-medium run lengths with minimum wastage.
The company has adapted several of its inline finishing modules to digital production. They include a web in-feed, varnishing unit, the innovative QC-Die-cutting system, smart matrix stripping, length slitting, varnishing unit, and small roll dual rewinds. A mark sensor allows the precise re-inserting of webs for reverse printing, or overprinting of pre-printed webs, including variable data.
The unit has a maximum printing width of 322 mm on up to 350 mm wide web. It prints up to 50 m/min using paper or filmic label laminates from 90 to 350 microns. This comparatively high level of productivity equates to 16.1 sqm/min. High-definition UV-inks are used for CMYK, with an opaque white ink as standard for printing transparent films and metallic foils.
The Panorama DP-3 print engine delivers market leading, consistent colour output using single-pass 600 dpi piezo printheads with 4 level greyscale imaging. A minimum droplet size of 3 picolitres allows small-dot halftones for true flesh tones and fine vignettes. The digital front-end uses advanced workflow management system. Users can match the majority of Pantone colours for spot colours to gain a wide colour gamut, aided by a colour editing tool. The workflow also includes superb typeface optimisation and automated step- and-repeat functions.
