Domino has announced that it will host the first of a series of Spectrum Europe events at its brand new European Digital Centre of Excellence in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands.

The inaugural Spectrum Europe event, which takes place from October 5-6, 2022, follows the success of Domino’s Spectrum series in the US, where printing companies, industry experts and technology vendors come together to identify best practice approaches that support productivity and business growth.

This will be the first ever event hosted at Domino’s new European Digital Centre of Excellence – a dedicated space for European customers and distributors to see tailored demonstrations and get hands-on experience with Domino’s entire portfolio of digital color label and corrugate presses, as well as its mono variable data printing solutions. 

Designed to address and provide solutions to the challenges faced by label and corrugate converters, as well as printers in Europe, day one of the packed agenda includes discussions from FINAT, Avery Dennison, and Cartor.

Jules Lejeune, managing director at FINAT, will highlight the challenges of the industry, and Ian Brigham, managing director at Cartor, and a spokesperson from Avery Dennison, will outline how they are facing these current challenges.

Day two, themed around “Tomorrow’s solution,” will highlight how print service providers can seek opportunities to increase their margins and achieve growth.

Scott Whitworth, manufacturing manager at HSG Packaging, will provide insight into how the X630i digital corrugate press has not only revolutionised the company’s printing line but is also benefitting its customers; F+V’s CEO Rainer Feldbaum will advise on why and when to choose hybrid printing; and Manuel Hernandez, Distribution Manager at Domino, and Maarten Rambach, Business Development at Lake Image Systems, will share the details of a customer case study.

Visitors will also benefit from networking opportunities at the tabletop exhibition, where several leading businesses – including key Domino partners – will be present. These include Avery Dennison, F+V, GM Denmark, Grafotronic, LabelHub, Lake Image Systems, Nodema, Paragon, and Rotocontrol.

The event will not only enable attendees to see the new center in action, it will also feature live demonstrations of Domino’s printing technologies – including the N610i, K630i and K600i and, for the very first time in Europe, the N730i digital label press.

Key features of the N730i include its revolutionary Brother BITSTARTM 1200dpi piezo printhead, the SunLight graphical user interface, and the latest automated Domino i-Tech intelligent technology features: i-Tech SetAlign, Actiflow2, CleanCap2, and i-Tech NozzleAdjust.

Jeremy Jones, global marketing director at Domino, comments, “Visitors to Spectrum Europe will be able to see more, learn more, and ultimately, do more. The new centre demonstrates Domino’s commitment to ensuring that its customers get a tailored experience with its systems and proven technologies before purchasing them, as well as receiving the ongoing training and support for which we are known. We talk about ‘The Domino Difference’, and our new European Digital Centre of Excellence exemplifies that difference.”
