States Alan Jones, MD of Tamar Labels, “We were faced with the fact that many of our customers were requesting short run, quick turnaround label projects which were causing disruption to our normal flexo printing production. To meet this need, we looked at most all printing technologies and concluded that digital printing was the best means of achieving our needs due to its ease of use, print quality and the range of substrates available.

The HP WS4000 print engine integrated with the Digicon HS from A B Graphic International Ltd gives us a machine that guarantees an optimum quality that we believe will positively enhance the reputation or our company. Importantly, the technology gives us a high degree of flexibility and ease of use. We wanted to include new technology within the basis of our company to diversify our current offerings while strengthening our existing products and respond more rapidly with high quality services.

Additionally, we wanted the necessary tools to approach some new markets, such as the electronic and automotive industries. Digital printing has helped us to achieve that objective. We have found the system invaluable to us in areas of off-line single colour printing, laminating, foil blocking and slitting. Our operators love the Digicon HS system for its ease of set-up and changeover. This equipment proved to have the shortest start-up/training time we have ever experienced. We are delighted with the equipment and the continuing support provided by A B Graphic International Ltd.”

Tony Bell, A B Graphic Sales Manager concludes, “Tamar Labels wanted a high specification digital converting system. We worked closely with them to engineer a system to exactly meet their converting needs. We are very encouraged by the interest and acceptance of the Digicon concept, not only here in Europe but also in North America with the latter market proving to be particularly vibrant.”
