HP and Comexi introduce Comexi Nexus L20000

The Comexi Nexus L20000 is said to be the first dedicated end-to-end lamination and coating option for digitally printed flexible packaging. Available in inline or offline configurations, the Comexi Nexus L20000 will offer advanced solvent-free lamination to help flexible packaging converters shorten time-to-market, as well as help reduce waste and environmental impact. 

‘Shorter product life cycles and customized packaging are driving growth in short-run jobs that demand fast turnaround times,’ said Ramon Xifra, vice president, Comexi Group. ‘The new Comexi Nexus L20000 with the HP Indigo 20000 will enable flexible packaging converters to meet these demands and grow their businesses.’

Going from computer to press without producing plates helps increase speed to market, improve production flexibility and reduce packaging costs for short runs. HP Indigo’s digital, zero-setup process minimizes waste, translating into significant cost and time savings. On-demand digital printing also reduces waste and over-stocking throughout the supply chain, allowing converters to offer their end customers more sustainable packaging options.

HP Indigo’s liquid ElectroInk technology matches gravure printing. With seven ink stations, converters can meet the most stringent corporate branding requirements and achieve perfect color registration on all substrates. HP Indigo ElectroInk suitable for printing on food packaging, under set conditions of use and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for non-food contact surfaces.

‘As we drive the digital revolution in flexible packaging, it’s important that our customers benefit from the full value of digital across the printing, converting and lamination processes,’ said Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager, HP Indigo Division. ‘With the Comexi Nexus L20000, converters will be able to increase speed to market to further maximize the benefits of digital printing with the HP Indigo 20000.’

Comexi Group will showcase the Comexi Nexus L20000 in Autumn 2014 and expect it to be available in early 2015.
