PLYMOUTH, MI—Argent Tape & Label, a label printer converter serving the automotive, medical, industrial, food and beverage, and health and beauty markets, celebrated its open house and unveiling of its new Domino N610i 7-color digital UV inkjet label press with the debut of a new video.
The video highlights a packed house of 65 of its customers and prospects with a ribbon cutting ceremony, while providing an overview of why installing the Domino N610i is a “game changer” for business and important to the growth of the company. In addition, brand owners provide their feedback in the video for what Argent’s investment means to them. The Domino N610i is the first digital production press for Argent Tape & Label.
“Welcome and thank you for joining us for what I view is a historic moment in Argent Tape & Label’s future. Three years ago, I rewrote our vision for Argent Tape & Label since obtaining the company in 2010. Part of this vision was to invest in new technology, more specifically the need to embrace the advantages of what this digital press would allow us to do, and what we can offer our customers,” said President and CEO Lynn Perenic at the open house event.
Argent Tape & Label produces 45 million labels per year with about 75 percent of its label business in the automotive industry. The demand for providing zero defect labels for their automotive customers, coupled with the desire to grow the business into other markets, such as food and beverage and health and beauty, which tend to require shorter runs combined with a large number of SKUs, helped fuel the need to add digital. What this means for brand owners is that Argent Tape & Label provides beautifully printed, color consistent labels with a quick turnaround on label jobs.
The Domino N610i 7-color digital UV inkjet label press runs at a minimum 165 fpm, and up to 246 fpm. Print resolution is 600 by 600 native dpi, the expanded color gamut achieves more than 90 percent of the Pantone range, and the white that has an opacity greater 70 percent. Domino N610i delivers the highest digital productivity, the best digital UV inkjet quality, the most consistent print results, and is a simple operating model. At Argent Tape & Label, the Domino runs nearline with a Delta ModTech finishing system.
