Epson SurePress models receive Idealliance certification

Epson’s SurePress digital label press line, the SurePress L-4733AW and SurePress L-6534VW, have been awarded Digital Press System Certification by Idealliance, one of the global leaders in standards and training for print and packaging supply chains.

Both SurePress models using the Wasatch RIP have met the requirements of Idealliance’s Digital Press Certification program, which consists of testing and certification in color, print properties and print production.

With this certification, Epson demonstrates its entire press system, including the digital front-end, print engine and paper, meets or exceeds established industry tolerances for excellence in the areas of colorimetric accuracy, uniformity, repeatability, durability and registration.

‘We understand that label converters’ customers are demanding accurate colors, while also wanting economically priced labels,’ said Mike Pruitt, product manager for SurePress at Epson America. ‘Wherever a customer is printing in the world – whether India or Indiana – this certification proves SurePress models with Wasatch RIPs meet the strict Digital Press System Certification requirements to provide the same high-quality color accuracy from print to print and country to country, which ultimately results in customer satisfaction and minimized rejected orders.’

The Digital Press Certification Program for inkjet systems certifies the capabilities of commercial production inkjet, high speed, cut sheet and web devices to meet specific print standards.

‘The SurePress certification underscores its commitment to excellence and dedication to print accuracy,’ said Jordan Gorski, executive director of Idealliance. ‘As the demand for consistent and high-quality print grows, Idealliance’s standards across print production such as G7 continue to serve as the foundation of industry standards for color, print quality and alignment of workflows and supply chains.’
