Dugraf to promote Dantex’s digital presses in South America

São José, Brazil-based Dugraf, has worked with Dantex for over six years as a distributor of consumables and equipment to the printing industry, focusing on the packaging segment. 

‘The label market in Brazil is growing rapidly and the main indicators show that most of the volumes are directed towards digital technology. Both Brazil and South America, in general, are regions with great room for growth in digital printing and we are convinced that the project will allow us to participate prominently in this growth. With digital technology now widely utilized and accepted, together with our great synergy with Dantex, we are ready to invest heavily in the digital market,’ commented Thiago R Pereira, commercial and marketing director at Dugraf.

With Dugraf’s digital market leaning towards the Dantex PicoJet technology, the company’s target customers include narrow web flexo, offset printing companies in the process of diversification, as well as digital companies looking for the one-stop-shop concept.

The PicoJet is a UV digital inkjet press with production speeds of up to 250ft/min (75m/min), capable of producing more than 29.5 million linear feet (9 million linear meters) of printed labels per year. 

As a 5-color printing system, it offers a 2.5 picolitre droplet size and an effective resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI. Moreover, the inking system maintains constant accuracy, and the SuperWhite option provides up to 92 percent opacity in a single pass. 

‘The partnership with Dantex has been a great success with our company,’ added Pereira. ‘Dugraf and Dantex have a similar approach to the market, always focusing on the best service and quality products. We believe there’s a great opportunity ahead and their digital presses are here to break ground.’

Commenting on the Dugraf digital program, Dantex’s CEO, Ben Danon, added: ‘Over the last six years, we have built an exceptionally strong relationship with the team at Dugraf. We fully endorse and support this new initiative and with the South American label market booming, together we can further promote the Pico range through this targeted digital program.’
