Spanish converter adds digital with Domino N610i

The company, founded in 1964, specializes in the printing of self-adhesive labels for industrial and commercial distribution, with a global customer base operating across a wide variety of sectors. These include chemical, industrial, automotive, household products, personal care, food & beverage, as well as the transport and logistics sectors. 

Using a selection of different printing technologies, the business delivers a range of labeling options to its customers, from simple product labeling applications to cardboard, thermal, electro-magnetic and RFID security labels, and linerless rolls and shrink sleeves.

‘In response to increased customer demand for shorter print runs and reduced lead times, it became apparent that it was no longer economical to continue running these jobs on flexo presses and we realized that it was time for us to start our digital adventure,’ commented David Brugalla, managing director at Conver.

After conducting a thorough review of the different digital printing technologies available, Conver came to the decision that inkjet was the most appropriate and cost effective option for most of its existing short and medium run jobs, complementing its existing technology and enabling expansion by opening up new business opportunities in the future.

‘After an exhaustive study of the ink jet market, we selected the 5-color Domino N610i label press due to its excellent print quality, high productivity and its cost-effective production costs,’ explained Brugalla. ‘The high opacity of the white ink will also allow us to move jobs over to the Domino press that we have previously silk-screen printed. Domino’s extensive experience of developing and manufacturing proven and reliable ink jet technologies was another key contributing factor in our decision.

‘Conver is a business that constantly innovates and we are happy to take our first step into digital printing in partnership with Domino. We intend to use the N610i label press to reduce our delivery times for short and medium run jobs, whilst maintaining our print quality policy at competitive costs.’
