Label Print Technologies has installed the Epson SurePress L-4033AW seven-color digital label press for printing complex, short-run labels for customers in the food and beverage industries. "When we got to a point that every day we were uncovering opportunities we couldn't produce on our flexographic presses, we went looking and found the SurePress," said Jodi Westphal, president. "The SurePress is easy to use, accurate, can spot color match, and allows us to utilize our in-house manufactured pressure-sensitive material. The wide color gamut and additional white ink have allowed us to produce complicated labels and designs that meet customer demands. We love the exactness of the print, the crispness of the image, and the color gamut on the SurePress is stunning - we've had the ability to spec in a very wide range of colors for our customers." Driving the SurePress L-4033AW is the included Wasatch RIP and Print Management Software.
