Our continued investment in new equipment is making it easier for us to produce fabulous full colour adhesive labels for our customers! With the Afinia Label Printer, we can print in full colour with pin sharp quality, and cut your labels to any custom shape to really make your labels stand out!

The Afinia L801 is a Memjet-powered industrial inkjet printer that is ideal for short to medium range print runs for prime and secondary labelling applications. It prints on continuous or die-cut stock from 2 to 8.5 inches in width, in full color, and at speeds of up to 60 feet per minute. Super-fine resolution makes for crisp text and barcodes, even at very small sizes. This detail, combined with vivid colors and rich blacks, makes labels look sharp and vibrant. The L801 is also compatible with a wide range of paper, polyester, polypropylene, and vinyl label stocks.

We’re only just into 2019, but already there are big changes on the way here at Ballyprint. In the near future we will take delivery of a new Heidelberg press, which will allow us to offer even more stunning speciality foil blocking finishes to give that ultimate luxury feel to your printed products. Hot foil blocking is an exclusive technique that is really on trend at the moment and is guaranteed to make your printed products pop and shine!

Watch this space in the coming months for more details of equipment coming to Ballyprint which will offer exciting new print finishes and design possibilities to really get your promotional materials noticed!

Our attendees were blown away by the huge selection of print samples we had on display, which showcased the beautiful finishes the Iridesse allows us to create, and opens up a new world of print possibilities. Embellishing print with white, gold and silver was previously only possible using spot inks on litho presses, so this new technology is truly revolutionary. Litho printing is used for larger print runs, but the Iridesse digital press enables us to provide these capabilities even on short print runs – so you can add a flourish even to a single print!

Also on show – and snapped up eagerly – was our stunning sample pack, which is crammed full of examples of all the print finishes the Iridesse can offer, as well as our range of beautiful paper and card stocks, special substrates, and additional processes such as laser cutting, foil blocking, die cutting, and much more. Sample packs are available on request, so get in touch with us by email or phone if you would like to take a look at just what we can do to make your print products really special!

Our thanks go to everyone who came along to the event, and especially to the representatives from Xerox for their continued support and enthusiasm as we embrace this wonderful new technology!
