Dion Label Printing has installed two new HP Indigo WS6800 digital printing presses. According to the company, it made the upgrade to this model for increased productivity through easy color management and enhanced capabilities.

The roll fed narrow web WS6800 press offers increased output with speeds of up to 130 fpm in enhanced productivity mode (EPM).

A wider image format is achieved with a print width of 12.59″ on the WS6800. Dion Label Printing’s new press can print materials as thin as 0.0005″ (0.5 pt) to as thick as 0.018″ (18 pt), including pressure sensitive labels and flexible packaging. An early detection quality control system alerts the operator to print defects during the production run to achieve optimal output.

“The upgrade to the WS6800 presses enhances our digital offering and allows us to continue to offer our customers the highest level of service and exceptional print quality,” says general manager Randy Duhaime. “The investment in the new WS6800 presses shows our commitment to investing in technology that helps to better serve the needs of our customers.”

Dion Label’s inline priming units will be used with the new HP WS6800 presses to continue to allow production flexibility. The WS6800 also offers the built in Workflow Suite powered by Esko. To aid in color matching, the press has an inline spectrophotometer, higher line screens and a new screening technology.
