Spectrum Digital Labels has added a second digital press to its inventory, the PicoJet 1200 DRS with CMYK + white and advanced inline flexo and lamination capabilities.
Following the installation of a PicoJet 330 in 2021, which has since produced over 100 million labels, Spectrum wanted to increase its existing capacity while extending its reach into the food packaging sector. The addition of a second press will support this growth by increasing label printing volumes and enabling high-performance printing on film-based packaging materials.
Spectrum’s decision to invest in a second PicoJet was influenced by key factors such as enhanced unwind and rewind systems for improved tension stability and additional corona and cooling units. Furthermore, the pre-digital LED flexo station enables flood coat printing and priming, expanding the range of materials Spectrum can process.
Commenting on the investment, Joe Preddy, managing director at Spectrum Digital Labels, said, ‘Our first PicoJet has been a fantastic investment, proving to be an absolute workhorse in production. As our business continues to grow, particularly into new markets such as food packaging, it made complete sense to invest in a PicoJet 1200 DRS. The support we’ve had from Dantex has been first-class throughout.’
