FEATURED INSTALLATION


Graphic Image Label purchased an Epson SurePress L-4033AW seven-color inkjet digital label press with white ink. With operations in Mexico and US, the converter installed the press in its new San Diego, CA, office to produce pressure-sensitive and self-adhesive prime labels for wine makers and small gourmet food, health and beauty, electronics, and industrial manufacturers. "For almost 20 years, we have been committed to producing high quality labels that exceed our client's production standards," said Carlos Garmendia, CEO. "The Epson SurePress produces outstanding results for our pressure-sensitive labels while keeping production costs, maintenance costs, and set-up times as low as possible." He adds, "With the SurePress, we didn't need an experienced specialized operator to run it. The machine practically runs itself and requires minimal supervision. We often run the press unattended during the night, and it's great not to need a press operator during those hours."
