Manufacturer of digital inkjet embellishment systems for print enhancement, JetFX, has inked an exclusive partnership with Currie Group for the A/NZ region.

JetFX president Edward Wiegand confirmed the deal and made the announcement at Labelexpo Americas.

Currie Group director – labels and packaging, Mark Daws, who was also at the Chicago event said, “We are absolutely over the moon to partner with Edward and the JetFX team. We’ve been on a long journey together and we’ve known each other for many years.

“We are so excited to be able to bring this technology to the industry and we look forward to a long, successful partnership.”

JetFX’s technology has been utilised by HP Indigo and A B Graphic, both of which are distributed locally through Currie Group as well.

JetFX’s technology is a UV inkjet-based unit which enables the application of fully digital graphic embellishments in one pass.

It uses single pass piezo inkjet heads which carry out any combination of embellishment processes. This might include digital foiling overlaid with 3D effect, or a spot coating.

The company aims to create enough flexibility with its technology that innovation will come from the end customer.
