Spectrum Digital Labels invests in second Dantex PicoJet

Spectrum Digital Labels has added a second digital press from Dantex Group: the PicoJet 1200 DRS with CMYK + white and in-line 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 decided to invest in a second PicoJet because of  Dantex's digital technology expertise, customer service and technical support. Key factors in its choice included enhanced unwind and rewind systems for improved tension stability and additional corona and cooling units. In addition, the pre-digital LED flexo station enables flood coat printing and priming, expanding the range of materials Spectrum can process.

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.'

'Spectrum Digital Labels has been a valued partner for years, and we are delighted to continue supporting their business growth,' added Richard Bunney, Dantex’s group managing director. 'Their latest investment is a testament to the reliability, performance and quality that our technology delivers. We look forward to seeing them further expand their presence in the food packaging sector.'
