Nilpeter has announced that the global launch of the new Nilpeter Panorama product line, including the five-color DP-3 UV inkjet unit will take place at Labelexpo Europe 2015 (Hall 7, Stand No. 7B35). The press combines Nilpeter’s expertise in web handling with advanced inkjet technology based on Screen’s system and workflow.

This integrated approach to single-pass digital printing from a single supplier offers users many operational benefits, including high performance and optimal up-time, through close integration of digital print and label converting.

Designed for fast setups and quick job turnarounds, the Panorama product-line is designed to be highly productive in the fastest growing of all label sectors. It produces a variety of label jobs in short-to-medium run lengths with minimum wastage. The company says Panorama users are well placed to meet brand owners demands for high quality labels in smaller quantities, in line with global trends towards product diversification.

Nilpeter has adapted several of its inline finishing modules to digital production. They include a web in-feed, varnishing unit, the innovative QC-Diecutting system, smart matrix stripping, length slitting, varnishing unit and small roll dual rewinds. A mark sensor allows the precise reinserting of webs for reverse printing, or overprinting of preprinted webs, including with variable data.

The Panorama product-line has a maximum print width of 322mm (12.67 inches) on up to 350-mm wide web. It prints up to 50m/min (164 fpm) using paper or filmic label laminates from 90 to 350 microns. This comparatively high level of productivity equates to 16.1 sq/m (173 sq/ft) per minute. High-definition UV-inks are used for CMYK, with an opaque white ink as standard for printing transparent films and metallic foils.

The Panorama DP-3 print engine is designed to deliver market leading, consistent color output using single-pass 600 dpi piezo printheads with 4-level greyscale imaging. A minimum droplet size of 3 picoliters allows small-dot halftones for true flesh tones and fine vignettes. The digital front-end uses advanced workflow management system. Users can match the majority of Pantone colors for spot colors to gain a wide color gamut, aided by a color editing tool. The workflow also includes what Nilpeter describes as a superb typeface optimization and automated step-and-repeat functions. Expanded options for vivid colur reproduction are also available.

The DP-3 is supported with Nilpeter’s safe service setup, offering remote repair assistance, maintenance and trouble-shooting.
