DELTA INDUSTRIAL CHOOSES IXPRESSIA SOFTWARE TO DRIVE NEW VARIABLE DIGITAL LABEL PRINTER

Tuesday 22. September 2009 - Press manufacturer chooses ixPressia to complement new digital press and access new markets

At Labelexpo in Brussels this week Delta Industrial, designer and manufacturer of specialised web converting and packaging equipment, demonstrates its new inkjet label printer module driven by the ixPressia Print Engine Colour Label software. The full colour, fully variable, digital inkjet label printer unit is the latest addition to the Delta Mod-Tech portfolio. It can be custom engineered and incorporated into manufacturing and packaging lines for quick-change barcodes, sequential numbering and date coding on packaging lines.

The ixPressia Print Engine Colour Label software is optimised to process full colour, greyscale quality variable content in real time to match the press print speed. Advance features include transparency and ICC colour profile support for accurate reproduction. The software enables users to print any combination of static or variable images to give a high level of flexibility for printing high quality ID cards and labels.

Delta President, Dave Schiebout, said “ixPressia’s Colour Label software is ideal for our label printer. As well as controlling the printer, the software has a front end that allows us to print variable data, text and images on the fly, with minimal processing time. Customers can add last minute text such as dates, or full colour images and bar codes. It’s a full and very flexible solution.”

Delta now plans to use ixPressia Print Engine software to upgrade from printing at a width of 70mm to 280mm whilst maintaining a throughput of 0.5 m/sec.

“The partnership with Delta Industrial is a significant endorsement for ixPressia,” says Jim Taylor, Director of ixPressia. “This software provides a complete production-ready, variable data software front-end for on-demand inkjet systems, allowing companies to realise the full potential of their technology and fulfil the strong demand for personalised products.”
