Domino Digital Printing has enjoyed a great start to drupa 2016 after its N610i 7-color digital label press won in the “Best Label Printer” category at the EDP Awards ceremony, which took place on the second day of the show (June 1, 2016).

The European Digital Press (EDP) Association represents 20 member magazines across Europe. Their annual awards, which attracted 150 submissions across 60 different categories, recognize innovation and quality, as well as assessing aspects such as value to the user, support and service capabilities.

“We are delighted to receive this prestigious award after beating off some stiff competition and with the adjudicators recognizing our low cost of ownership,” says Philip Easton, director at Domino Digital Printing. “The N610i has attracted a lot of international visitors to our stand at drupa, but we are confident that it will now receive even more interest after winning this latest accolade.”

With over 50 units installed at label printers throughout the world, the Domino N610i operates at speeds of up to 75 m/m (246 fpm) and has a native print resolution of 600dpi. The 7-color press uses high-impact UV curable inks, including a highly opaque screen-like white, and enables over 90% of the Pantone range to be printed. Easton concludes, “We continue to show how inkjet can innovate and add value for our customers. This award recognizes the key attributes of our label press and highlights why so many small, medium and large multi-national label printers are now choosing Domino as their preferred digital partner.”
