DS Smith installs state-of-the-art Nozomi 14000 AQ single-pass water-based printer at its Torrelavit packaging facility in Spain. The single-pass Nozomi 14000 AQ is designed to create high-resolution printing with water-based ink.
The new printer is set up to print directly onto corrugated cardboard using specific ink quantities for each production. It is one of the most advanced high-speed printing solutions in the marketplace and at 1.4 metres wide is providing DS Smith customers in the Iberian region with reduced lead times and less waste, in contrast to analogue production techniques.
In addition, the newly installed printer will allow DS Smith customers to create multiple design versions and variations in a single production run without compromising on the quality of their final sustainable packaging products and solutions.
“At DS Smith, we are driving greater sustainability and efficiency in packaging by implementing the most advanced high-speed digital printing technologies in our plants. The new technology not only ensures low energy consumption and maximum production efficiency, but also allows us to deliver high print quality with state-of-the-art printheads and maximum accuracy,” commented Albert Forcadell, Operations Director Packaging South Europe, DS Smith.
