EFI

EFI (www.efi.com) has combined its Jetrion UV inkjet printers and inks with labels substrates from FLEXcon (www.flexcon.com) to create a UL-recognized label-printing solution. EFI says the unique compatibility of Jetrion presses and ink systems with FLEXcon’s UL-recognized substrates will dramatically cut durable-label production costs and waste by eliminating the need for overlamination. Officials at both companies report that the initiative is designed to streamline the UL-recognition process and lower costs for durable-label converters who choose EFI’s Jetrion 4000 and 4830 digital label presses for short runs and specify FLEXcon’s COMPUcal EXCEL and THERMLfilm SELECT films. EFI’s Jetrion inks are formulated to eliminate the need for overlamination, and FLEXcon’s UL-recognized COMPUcal EXCEL and THERMLfilm SELECT films are engineered for superior ink receptivity. Compatible applications include barcodes, warning labels, instructional and nameplate labels for durable goods, power tools, appliances, medical equipment, and consumer electronics.
