Syracuse Label & Surround Printing has invested in a Dantex PicoColour UV inkjet digital label press to increase its digital capability.

The company is an award-winning, New York, US-based manufacturer of custom-made, printed products including flexible packaging, shrink sleeves and pressure-sensitive labels. Today, Syracuse Label & Surround Printing runs multiple production lines in a newly expanded facility utilising a number of technologies, including inkjet digital printing, to manage the production of a range of self-adhesive labels of different types, sizes and designs for a diversity of sectors.

Mark Howard, graphic services segment manager at Syracuse Label & Surround Printing, said, ‘The investment in the Dantex PicoColour was specifically made to replace our inkjet digital press, which had reached its end of life. We decided to partner with Dantex to take advantage of the step-change in technology that the PicoColour offers when compared to our previous press. Providing four-colours, UV white, corona treatment and in-line die-cutting, this impressive press will allow us to make our process even stronger, while significantly increasing our capabilities.’

Dantex USA president Benjamin Danon said, ‘The PicoColour is a fantastic model for SME printing companies entering digital inkjet, and also for those replacing older digital presses. The press fits perfectly into the sector requiring fast turnaround, short or long run lengths, multi-variants and variable data. Dantex is perfectly positioned today to bring the next technological step to our global customer base.”  

His colleague Michelle Garza, vice president at Dantex USA, added, ‘With the market absolutely ready to accept inkjet as its future, Dantex USA is perfectly placed to supply this technology to customers who are either considering, or ready to invest in inkjet.’
