Textures and varnish also digital
Inkjet production printers offer added value thanks to an increasing number of finishings. Apart from varnishing and metallic print it is now possible to print textures. Traditionally textures were produced by embossing, but production printers from Domino, Landa and Director Color Systems can do this digitally. For the growth market of luxury labels this is a very welcome addition. But there are quite a few limitations such as maximum thickness and production speed which is lower than that of flexo printers with inline finishing. Domino however claims that its N6 I Oi press prints 50 meters per minute including textures.
Combined with customisation technology completely new applications develop such as labels for special wines and luxury packaging for expensive fashion. Important element is protection against fake products, until, of course, these pirates buy their own digital label printers. The only solution to protect against fakes is with the use of special software, such as Agfa Graphics Arziro, design a label which is very difficult to copy, and that is another new market.
