At Fespa 2018 London-based Delta Group ordered an EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass, LED inkjet corrugated packaging printer with running speeds up to 75m/min to meet the demand for faster turnaround times and lower costs.
"The Delta Group has been following the progress of 'single pass' printing keenly over the past 12 months. We can see how this is going to be a game changer for many sectors, not only ours," said Martin Shipp, The Delta Group's chief operating officer. "In an aggressive and reactive market place such as point of sale, quality, speed to market and cost per copy are key factors. The Nozomi came on top when we were looking at production speed, material handling options, ink type, speed to market, cost per copy, and format size."
Delta Group will use the Nozomi - scheduled for installation this summer - to give customers short-run, medium-run and complex versioned jobs that are too costly to produce using analogue post-print flexo or litho lam processes. The machine addresses trends toward customisation, versioning and efficient supply chain management among the top-tier brands The Delta Group serves.
