Award-winning Canadian printer ASL Print FX has invested in an MPS EF SymJet hybrid flexo-inkjet press for its manufacturing plant located in California’s famous Napa Valley wine region.

Ordered by ASL Print FX was a hybrid combination of an MPS EF flexo press with an integrated 7-color Domino N610i digital inkjet unit. The sale marks their first hybrid press investment for fast turnaround printing of wine labels in California’s famous Napa Valley wine region.

For over 50 years, ASL Print FX has brought its customers’ brand vision to shelf in pressure sensitive labels, promotional and package printing, recognized by the industry with over 83 awards presented to ASL Print FX and their clients. Headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, ASL Print FX operates manufacturing plants in Vaughan; Napa, CA and Winston-Salem, NC.

Charlie McLean, president and CEO of ASL Print FX, comments, “MPS has built a reputation of developing high-quality presses that deliver top-of-line performance in label printing. When we decided to invest in a press capable of printing complex, shorter-run wine labels to meet fast turnaround demand, MPS’ EF SymJet hybrid press was the perfect solution for our needs.”

Michael Weyermann, VP of sales and marketing at MPS Systems North America, adds, “With the printing industry now embracing hybrid printing and the benefits it provides in combining flexo and digital inkjet technologies, we’re honored ASL has put their trust in MPS and Domino in their first hybrid solution press, for high-caliber wine label printing in the Napa Valley. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with ASL Print FX.”
