Nottinghamshire-based Cresta Labels has acquired a second PicoColour UV inkjet digital press from Dantex. 

The press was installed in April of this year, joining another installed in March 2018. Cresta, which has been providing flexible labelling solutions for over 40 years, made the investments ‘to increase efficiencies and digital label production capacity.’

‘The PicoColour just performs so well and exceeds all our expectations,’ said sales and marketing director Richard Lloyd. ‘The fine detail and block solids are excellent, and the ability to print, convert and finish in one pass is invaluable. Coupled with customer demand and the flexibility it gives between digital presses, the investment in a second Pico was essential for the business.

‘The purchase of a second press was not something taken lightly and was far in advance of our original plans, probably by a couple of years – but with the opportunities it gives, we are hugely excited about the future of digital at Cresta. Through the whole process Dantex’s expertise and knowledge has been excellent, and we know we are dealing with the right people as our long term digital partners.’
