AB Graphic International has announced that Poole based, digital label printer Harkwell Labels has invested in the first new Digicon Series 3 finishing line to be supplied into the UK market.

The Digicon 3 has numerous features to give greater flexibility and speed to Harkwell’s finishing process including fully automatic set up for scissor slitting knives plus higher speed and accuracy. In addition, an inline delaminating and re-laminating system allows for adhesive printing and up to three page peel and reseal – all produced at high speed in a single pass.

The addition of the new machine to Harkwell’s existing finishing technology increases the company’s capacity by over 40% thus completing the final stage of a £1 million plus investment in 2014 that also included the installation of a second HP Indigo series 6000 digital label press.
