EFI unveils Jetrion 4900 at Labelexpo

The five-colour (CMYK+W) press, which is driven by a Fiery XF RIP and uses EFI’s high qaulity UV inkjet inks, features a robust flexo-style web with an industrial grade transport.

An inline corona station in front of the print unit ensures ink adhesion on filmic substrates, providing greater substrate compatability, while the in-line laser finishing unit from SEI enables a full range of finishes.

The SEI unit uses high-powered dual lasers to provide die cutting, while a configurable slitting station with up to nine blades provides in-line slitting and backscoring on a wide range of substrates including paper, foil and film.

A festoon between the finishing station and the rewinder acts as a buffer to minimise substrate waste between jobs via what EFI described as a “unique reverse function”.

EFI said that the press was designed with a heavy duty cycle in mind and it is aimed at short-run digital label jobs, where it can boost profitability by reducing set-up time, substrate waste and inventory requirements associated with label finishing, such as plates and dies.

Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI Jetrion, said: “EFI’s Jetrion 4900 is a robust industrial press that is ideal for label converters looking to transfer high-cost, short- and medium-run jobs to digital systems, from print file straight through to finished roll.

“It produces top-quality labels with cost-savings that go straight to the bottom line, a must in today’s business environment where lean manufacturing and efficiency are required to compete.”

EFI Australia’s inkjet sales development manager, Simon Trytell, confirmed that the Jetrion 4900 will be available in Australia. Local pricing was not confirmed, but the EFI Jetrion 4900 is priced at €625,000 in Europe.
