Domino Printech India showcased the N-Series N610i 5-color digital UV inkjet label press at Labelexpo India in Greater Noida.
Ajay RaoRane, vice-president of sales – digital printing at Domino told Packaging South Asia that the Domino N610i is specifically designed for the Indian market. The N610i 5-color digital label press with inline priming can run at 50 meters per minute. It comes with Esko’s digital front end or the newly launched Sunrise digital front end, he said.
“We are happy with the response at Labelexpo. We had some good interactions with prospective clients. We met a customer who has been using our N-series and K-series presses. They liked our display of samples of shrink sleeves, in-mold labels, and laminated tubes – real jobs done by our customers. When customers and prospects are happy, we are happy,” RaoRane said.
The company recently installed the Domino K600i at Leap DigiPrint in Noida for embellishment applications such as digital varnish and digital foil, RaoRane said. Domino installed a couple of K-series machines in Delhi-NCR where the customers are into variable data printing for electronics companies. Color machines were also installed in Ahmedabad and Bhiwadi in Rajasthan.
The company has a couple of 2021 monochrome high-speed digital printing machines running at printers doing variable data printing for tax stamps, QR codes, anti-counterfeiting, security labels, and embellishments in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai, he said.
The K600i and the N-series machines are made at Domino’s Switzerland facility, he said, adding once they reach India, the machines are integrated with partners such as UV Graphics and others.
RaoRane said the growth of the Indian economy has led to high disposable income among the middle class as well as the growth of startups, malls, big retail chains and private labels, RaoRane said, adding India’s label consumption is growing and bound to grow multiple-fold.
“These are good days for the label industry. Customers bought both conventional and digital label presses at Labelexpo India. Digital printing is picking up. People want to know what digital printing can do, the costs involved and how it will help them to grow,” he said.
