Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI Jetrion, says. “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 says that the Jetrion 4900 integrates printing and finishing for the entire production requiring no additional plates, dies, change overs and makeready labour, adding that it prints four-colour and highly opaque white UV inks in a single pass, delivering flexo-quality labels that are heat, cold and chemical resistant, and UL-certified on select substrates.

The finishing system features dual lasers from SEI laser converting, offering die cutting, slitting, and back scoring on a range of substrates from paper, foil and film to speciality stock. It runs standard flexo rolls and offers in line and offline modes for special jobs.

Skelly adds, “Demand for targeted, variable label content continues to rise, and our system allows converters to keep these frequently outsourced short-run jobs — and profits — in house.”

The system also integrates EFI workflow and colour management software.
