Mexican converter upgrades CDT 3600 Series Laser Pro with Aspen Memjet engine

Litográfica y Tipográfica América (LYTASA) has upgraded its Colordyne Technologies (CDT) 3600 Series Laser Pro digital printing press with the new Aspen Memjet engine upgrade, which allows the manufacturer’s Production Class press platforms to print at speeds up to 275ft/min (84m/min) with a print resolution of 1600 x 1375 dpi.

LYTASA prints pressure-sensitive labels, folding boxes, traditional labels and commercial jobs

Located in Mexico City, Mexico, LYTASA has been in the market for more than 70 years, and prints pressure-sensitive labels, folding boxes, traditional labels and commercial jobs.

Javier Simon, president of LYTASA, said the CDT 3600 Series Laser Pro has worked well since being installed in January 2014, but the upgrade allows the company to provide an even higher level of service to its customers. Installed in April 2015, the Aspen Memjet engine upgrade has cut down on the time required to prepare label files for printing, and expanded LYTASA’s capability to print variable data jobs.

‘We chose to install the upgrade because it significantly improved the production capacity of the machine,’ said Simon. ‘It’s more than the speed increase from 160ft/min to 275ft/min, as we found the elimination of RIP times to be most beneficial to our business as we specialize in variable data. The upgrade has also improved the overall operator experience and control of the equipment.’
