At Labelexpo Barcelona, leading Ahmedabad-based packaging company Scancode Auto ID Technology announced its strategic investment in a Domino N610i-H Hybrid Digital Label press to drive its newly launched digital printing division, IMPRENTA. The hybrid press on order contains 5 colors using six inkjet printheads (there are two whites) and two flexo units. The first flexo unit is for a primer, followed by the six inkjet arrays for printing two whites plus cyan, magenta, yellow, and black at 600 x 600 DPI resolution, followed by a flexo unit for varnish.
Finalized during Labelexpo Europe 2025 and announced on the second day of the show, the flexo and digital hybrid press from Domino signals Scancode’s expansion into high-performance digital packaging. Its IMPRENTA division is designed to meet the growing demand for agile, short-run, and multi-SKU packaging solutions across industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, automotive, industrial, and food.
“IMPRENTA is our vision for the future of packaging—fast, flexible, and uncompromising in quality,” said Mitesh Patel, managing director, Scancode Auto ID Technology. “The Domino N610i-H Hybrid is the technological backbone of this vision, enabling us to deliver exceptional results across labels, shrink sleeves, and flexible pouches.”
The Domino N610i-H Hybrid Digital Label Press combines digital inkjet with traditional flexographic printing, allowing Scancode to produce specialty short runs and high-volume production. The machine’s hybrid capability enables high print quality, accelerated turnaround, and cost efficiency— offering brand owners a competitive edge.
“We’re proud to support Scancode’s launch of IMPRENTA,” said Ajay RaoRane, vice president of Digital Printing Solutions at Domino Printech India. “The Domino N610i-H Hybrid is engineered for innovation, and IMPRENTA is a perfect showcase of what’s possible when technology meets vision.”
Scancode’s investment demonstrates its commitment to innovative next-generation packaging solutions for evolving market demands, regulatory transitions such as GS1’s move to QR codes, and packaging sustainability goals. IMPRENTA positions Scancode as a pioneer in India’s digital packaging landscape—ready to contribute to the new and compelling brand narratives that the markets are demanding.
High-end n730i press coming to India in December
At its Labelexpo stand, Domino showed two presses driven by its new Sunrise digital front end. The first was the upgraded high-end n730i 1200 dpi hybrid using UV curing and running at 90 meters a minute, which is ready for the market. This press has been purchased by an unnamed Indian label converter in Western India and will be installed in the December time frame.
The second particularly interesting press on the stand was the compact n410 entry-level press with four or five digital color units and LED curing, which will first be sold to beta sites and early adopters and is likely to reach India, possibly in the first quarter of FY 2026. The press uses Kyocera inkjet printheads at 600 x 600 dpi resolution.
Reviewing the show, RaoRane adds, “The Label Expo Europe event in Barcelona was a good experience for us. We had fresh conversations with Indian label converters and made progress on ongoing discussions about digital label printing. Visitors at the Domino booth were excited to see the range of machines we displayed, especially the newly launched Domino N410 with LED ink, which we believe will help Indian converters take their first steps into the fast-growing digital printing segment.
“The Domino N730i also drew strong interest as it demonstrated image variable data printing at 90 meters per minute, along with excellent white opacity on clear-on-clear substrates, close to the quality of screen printing. We look forward to seeing many more Domino digital presses being installed in India in the coming years.”
