The EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass LED inkjet corrugated board press 

 

Dublin-based McGowans Print is installing its first EFI inkjet product – the new Nozomi C18000. It will be the second EFI Nozomi press installed worldwide.

‘We researched all the single-pass technology available for large-format printing, and the EFI Nozomi press was the best in class by far for our applications,’ said Malcolm McGowan, CEO. ‘The press checks all the boxes for point-of-sale applications and it allows us to quickly enter the packaging market as well.’

McGowans Print has existing demand for corrugated display work, and many current and potential clients who would also use the company for corrugated packaging as a way to migrate away from litho lamination processes that are not economical for short- to medium-run work.

The new press ‘takes us to much longer runs and new markets that we cannot reach today with our existing digital printers,’ explained Mr McGowan.

The company is installing a new EFI Fiery digital front end with the press and uses EFI software to drive its online web-to-print operations.
