Argent Tape & Label Installs Domino N610 Press

Domino N610i Digital Label PressPLYMOUTH, MI—Argent Tape & Label, a label printer converter serving the automotive, medical, food and beverage, and industrial markets, has purchased a Domino N610i 7-color digital UV inkjet label press and plans to debut the press to its customers and prospects at an open house scheduled for Friday, Nov. 4 at Argent’s Plymouth, MI facility. This is the first digital production press for Argent Tape & Label, and President & CEO Lynn Perenic is enthusiastic about what this means for her business.

“The Domino is a game changer for us. We can now go after label jobs that we could never go after before. It opens new markets for us. My sales team is energized and excited, all focused on the things we can do… all of the possibilities that the Domino provides,” says Lynn.

Argent Tape & Label has eight flexo label presses, and produces 45 million labels per year with about 75 percent of its label business in the automotive industry. The desire to grow the business into other markets, such as food and beverage—which tend to require shorter runs combined with a large number of SKUs, helped fuel the need to add digital to complement its flexo based label printing business.

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 extended color gamut achieves more than 90 percent of the Pantone range, and the white that has an opacity greater than 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 inline with a Delta ModTech finishing system.

There are a lot of digital label press providers, so why did Argent Tape & Label choose Domino? “I wanted the best. I wanted something that wasn’t going to change overnight. I wanted a company that was going to support us, and if you read what the economists say, now is the time to position your company for growth. I see that with Domino. I see Domino as our partner,” says Lynn.
