Versatility and quality with low-migration inks and 720x1260 dpi imaging
The new Jetrion 4950lxe version of EFI's highly productive LED inkjet narrow-web inkjet label press helps customers create new opportunities with its expanded capabilities. Converters can extend their food-packaging applications into digital label production thanks to the press's new low-migration ink for non-food-contact surface production. The press also offers a higher, 720x1260 dpi resolution for even better print quality, and increased durability and gloss level control using EFI Armor UVF and UVR coatings.
This new Jetrion press version also offers extended versatility as it includes media compatibility profiles for a broader range of labelstocks, including Avery Dennison® substrates used for durable labels and wine applications. EFI customer ColorZone exemplifies the success Jetrion users worldwide have been able to achieve by creating new market opportunities. Located in California's wine country, the company got its start producing wide-format display and signage work using EFI VUTEk® superwide-format technology and other printers, but expanded to capture short-run, multi-SKU and just-in-time label production opportunities with a Jetrion LED inkjet press.
"I entered the large-format graphics market without having a background in the business and was able to build a successful offering," said ColorZone President Joshua Feller. "Because of my relationship with EFI, I can do the same thing in the wine label market. The economics of the LED Jetrion press accelerates our ability to add new clients."
Optional in-line finishing equipment available from EFI make Jetrion one of the only digital press brands that enables users to take in blank substrate rolls on one end and receive complete, die-cut, slit and backscored rolls at the other.
