Hōʻuluʻulu nā mea hōʻikeʻike a me nā mea hele no ka PRINTING United 2024

Ua piha nā keʻena hoʻopaʻa inoa i ka lā mua o PRINTING UNITED 2024.

PAʻI ʻAhahui Hui Pū ʻIa 2024ua hoʻi i Las Vegas no kāna holo ʻekolu lā mai Kepakemapa 10-12 ma ke Kikowaena Hālāwai ʻo Las Vegas. Ua huki ka hōʻike o kēia makahiki i 24,969 mau mea hele i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia a me 800 mau mea hōʻike, nāna i uhi i hoʻokahi miliona kapuaʻi kuea o kahi hōʻike e hōʻike i kā lākou ʻenehana hou loa i ka ʻoihana paʻi.

Ua hōʻike ʻo Ford Bowers, ka Luna Nui o PRINTING United Alliance, he maikaʻi loa nā manaʻo mai ka hōʻike.

"He kokoke i 5,000 mau lālā ko mākou i kēia manawa a he hoʻokahi o nā hōʻikeʻike nui he 30 ma ka ʻāina. I kēia manawa, me he mea lā ua hauʻoli loa nā mea a pau," wahi a Bowers. "Ua like ia me ka paʻa a hiki i ka hoʻoluhi nui ʻana ma muli o ka mea hōʻikeʻike āu e kamaʻilio pū ai - me he mea lā ua hauʻoli loa nā mea a pau me ia. Ua maikaʻi nō hoʻi ka manaʻo no ka papahana hoʻonaʻauao. He mea kupaianaha loa ka nui o nā lako ma ʻaneʻi, ʻoiai ke noʻonoʻo nei he makahiki drupa ia."

Ua ʻike ʻo Bowers i ka ulu ʻana o ka hoihoi i ka paʻi kikohoʻe, he mea kūpono ia no ka PAʻI ʻana ma United.

"Aia kahi umekaumaha i kēia manawa i loko o ka ʻoihana, ʻoiai ua emi ka pale kikohoʻe i ke komo ʻana i kēia manawa," wahi a Bowers. "Makemake nā mea hōʻikeʻike e hoʻolilo i ke kālā liʻiliʻi ma ke ʻano o ke kūʻai aku ʻana. Makemake lākou e loaʻa nā mea āpau ma kahi hoʻokahi, a makemake nā mea paʻi e hoʻemi i ka nui o nā hōʻike a lākou e hele ai a ʻike i nā mea āpau e hiki ai ke loaʻa kālā iā lākou."

Ka Nānā ʻOihana Hou Loa
I ka wā o ka Lā Media, ua hōʻike nā loiloi PRINTING United i ko lākou mau ʻike i loko o ka ʻoihana. Ua hōʻike ʻo Lisa Cross, ka loiloi nui o NAPCO Research, ua piʻi aʻe ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka ʻoihana paʻi ma 1.3% i ka hapa mua o 2024, akā ua piʻi aʻe ke kumukūʻai hana ma 4.9%, a ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻonui ʻana o ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai. Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Cross i ʻehā mau mea hoʻopilikia nui i ka wā e hiki mai ana: AI, aupuni, ʻikepili a me ka hoʻomau.

"Manaʻo mākou he maikaʻi ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻoihana paʻi no nā ʻoihana e hoʻohana ana i nā pono hana āpau i loaʻa - me ka AI - e hana i ʻekolu mau mea: hoʻonui i ka huahana ma ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa, kūkulu i nā waihona ʻikepili paʻa a me ka loiloi ʻikepili, a apo i nā ʻenehana hoʻololi a hoʻomākaukau no ka mea hoʻopilikia hou aʻe," wahi a Cross. "Pono nā ʻoihana paʻi e hana i kēia mau mea ʻekolu e ola ai."

Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Nathan Safran, Hope Pelekikena, noiʻi no NAPCO Media, ua ʻokoʻa ka 68% o nā lālā o ka panela State of the Industry ma mua o 600 ma mua o kā lākou ʻāpana nui.

"Ua hoʻokomo kālā he kanahiku pakeneka o ka poʻe pane i nā lako hou i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala iho nei e hoʻonui i nā noi hou," wahi a Safran. "ʻAʻole ia he kamaʻilio wale nō a he kumumanaʻo paha - aia nā noi maoli. Ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa nei ka ʻenehana kikohoʻe i nā pale komo e komo i nā mākeke pili, ʻoiai ke hoʻemi nei ka pāpāho kikohoʻe i ke koi ma kekahi mau ʻāpana. Inā ʻoe ma ka mākeke paʻi kalepa, makemake paha ʻoe e nānā i ka ʻōpala."

Nā Manaʻo o nā Mea Hōʻikeʻike no ka PAʻI ʻana United
Me 800 mau mea hōʻikeʻike ma ka lima, nui nā mea a ka poʻe i hele mai e ʻike ai e pili ana i nā mīkini paʻi hou, nā ʻīnika, nā polokalamu a me nā mea hou aku.

Ua ʻike ʻo Paul Edwards, ka Hope Pelekikena o ka Māhele Kikohoʻe ma INX International, ua like kēia me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 2000, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ke kikohoʻe e puka mai i nā keramika a me ke ʻano ākea, akā i kēia lā he ʻōpala ia.

"Nui aku nā noi ma ka ʻoihana ʻoihana a me ka ʻōpala e puka mai ana, me nā noi papahele a me nā mea hoʻonaninani, a no kahi hui ʻīnika, he mea kūikawā loa ia," wahi a Edwards. "He mea nui ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka ʻīnika, no ka mea, hiki i ka ʻenehana ʻīnika ke hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia paʻakikī he nui."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Edwards ua kūlana maikaʻi ʻo INX ma nā ʻāpana kikohoʻe koʻikoʻi he nui.

"He nui nā ʻano wahi like ʻole a mākou," wahi a Edwards. "He mea hoihoi loa ka mākeke ma hope o ka hana iā mākou, no ka mea, he nui loa kā mākou waihona mea kūʻai aku kahi i loaʻa ai iā mākou nā pilina maikaʻi no nā makahiki he ʻumi. Ke hana pū nei mākou me nā OEM he nui e hoʻomohala i nā ʻenehana ʻīnika no kā lākou mau mīkini paʻi. Ua hoʻolako mākou i ka ʻenehana ʻīnika a me ka ʻenehana mīkini paʻi no ka paʻi pololei ʻana i ka mea no kā mākou hana ma Huntsville, AL."

"ʻO kēia kahi e hui pū ai ka ʻenehana ʻīnika a me ka ʻike o ka paʻi ʻana a ʻo kēia ke kumu hoʻohālike e hana maikaʻi me mākou i ko mākou neʻe ʻana i ka ʻāpana hoʻopili," hoʻomau ʻo Edwards. "No INX ka mākeke hoʻopili metala, a aia ka hoʻopili corrugated a me ka flexible, aʻu e manaʻo nei ʻo ia ka huakaʻi hoihoi aʻe. ʻO ka mea āu e hana ʻole ai, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i kahi mīkini paʻi a laila hoʻolālā i ka ʻīnika."

"Ke kamaʻilio ka poʻe e pili ana i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia, ʻaʻole ia he hoʻokahi wale nō noi," wahi a Edwards. "Aia nā koi like ʻole. ʻO ka hiki ke hoʻohui i ka ʻike loli a me ka hoʻopilikino ʻana kahi e makemake ai nā lama. Ua koho mākou i kekahi mau niches, a makemake mākou e hāʻawi i nā ʻoihana me kahi hopena ʻenekini inika/paʻi. Pono mākou e lilo i mea hoʻolako hopena ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i mea hoʻolako inika wale nō."

"He mea hoihoi kēia hōʻikeʻike e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka loli ʻana o ke ao o ka paʻi kikohoʻe," wahi a Edwards. "Makemake au e hālāwai me nā kānaka a nānā i nā manawa kūpono hou - noʻu, ʻo ia nā pilina, ʻo wai ka mea e hana nei a ʻike pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke kōkua iā lākou."

Ua hōʻike ʻo Andrew Gunn, ka luna hoʻokele o nā hoʻonā paʻi ma ke koi no FUJIFILM, ua holo maikaʻi loa ʻo PRINTING United.

"He maikaʻi ke kūlana o ke keʻena kūʻai, ua maikaʻi ka hele wāwae ʻana, he mea kupanaha ka launa pū ʻana me ka pāpāho, a ʻo ka AI a me ka robotics nā mea e pili mau nei," wahi a Gunn. "Aia kahi hoʻololi paradigm kahi e neʻe hope nei kekahi mau mīkini paʻi offset i hoʻohana ʻole i ka digital."

Ma waena o nā mea koʻikoʻi o FUJIFILM ma PRINTING United, ʻo ia ka mīkini paʻi hana hoʻokahi ʻeono kala ʻo Revoria Press PC1120, Revoria EC2100 Press, Revoria SC285 Press, ka mīkini paʻi toner kala ʻo Apeos C7070, ka mīkini paʻi pepa J Press 750HS, nā ʻīnika hoʻōla UV ākea ʻo Acuity Prime 30 a me Acuity Prime Hybrid UV LED.

"Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi makahiki moʻolelo ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ke kūʻai aku ʻana a ua ulu kā mākou māhele mākeke," wahi a Gunn. "Ke lilo nei ka democratization B2 i mea nui, a ke hoʻomaka nei ka poʻe e hoʻomaopopo. Ke piʻi nei ke kai e piʻi ana i nā waʻa āpau. Me ka Acuity Prime Hybrid, nui ka hoihoi o nā mīkini paʻi papa a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​roll to roll."

Ua hōʻike ʻo Nazdar i nā lako hou, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mīkini paʻi pololei-i-kiʻiʻoniʻoni M&R Quattro e hoʻohana ana i nā ʻīnika Nazdar.

"Ke hōʻike nei mākou i kekahi mau mīkini paʻi EFI a me Canon hou, akā ʻo ka mea nui ka mīkini paʻi pololei-i-kiʻiʻoniʻoni M&R Quattro," wahi a Shaun Pan, ke luna kālepa nui ma Nazdar. "Mai ko mākou loaʻa ʻana iā Lyson, ua nui ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻolaha i ka ʻoihana kikohoʻe - lole, kiʻi, lepili a me ka hoʻopili ʻana. Ke komo nei mākou i nā ʻāpana hou he nui, a he ʻoihana nui ka ʻīnika OEM no mākou.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pan e pili ana i nā manawa kūpono no ka paʻi lole kikohoʻe.

"ʻAʻole kiʻekiʻe loa ka komo ʻana o ka ʻenehana kikohoʻe i nā lole i kēia manawa akā ke hoʻomau nei ia e ulu - hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolālā i hoʻokahi kope no ke kumukūʻai like me hoʻokahi tausani kope," i ʻike ai ʻo Pan. "He kuleana koʻikoʻi ka pale a eia nō ia e noho, akā e hoʻomau ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻenehana kikohoʻe. Ke ʻike nei mākou i nā mea kūʻai aku e hana ana i ka pale a me ke kikohoʻe. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ko lākou mau pono a me nā kala. Loaʻa iā mākou ka ʻike loea i nā mea ʻelua. Ma ka ʻaoʻao pale, he mea lawelawe mau mākou e kōkua ana i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā hana a kā mākou mea kūʻai aku; hiki iā mākou ke kōkua i ke komo ʻana o ka ʻenehana kikohoʻe. ʻO ia nō ko mākou ikaika."

Ua hōʻike ʻo Mark Pomerantz, ke alakaʻi kūʻai aku no Xeikon, i ka TX500 hou me ka toner Titon.

"I kēia manawa, ua like ka paʻa o ka toner Titon me ka ʻīnika UV akā ke mau nei nā ʻano toner āpau - ʻaʻohe VOC, ka paʻa, ka maikaʻi," wahi a Pomerantz. "I kēia manawa ua paʻa ia, ʻaʻole pono ka lamination a hiki ke paʻi ʻia ma luna o ka ʻōpala pepa maʻalahi. Ke hoʻohui mākou iā ia me ka ʻāpana Kurz, hiki iā mākou ke hana i nā hopena metallization ma kahi kikowaena kala ʻelima. Hoʻopili wale ka foil i ka toner, no laila kūpono mau ke hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pomerantz e maʻalahi loa kēia i ke ola o ka mea paʻi.

"Paʻi kēia i ka hana ma hoʻokahi ʻanuʻu ma mua o ʻekolu, a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e loaʻa nā ʻāpana lako hou," i hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Pomerantz. "Ua hana kēia i kahi 'hoʻonaninani o hoʻokahi'; ʻo ia ka waiwai nui loa i kahi mea hoʻolālā ma muli o ke kumukūʻai. ʻO ke kumukūʻai hou wale nō ka foil ponoʻī. Ua kūʻai aku mākou i kā mākou mau prototypes a pau a me nā mea hou aku ma drupa i nā noi a mākou i manaʻo ʻole ai, e like me nā mea hoʻonaninani paia. ʻO nā lepili waina ka noi maopopo loa, a manaʻo mākou e hoʻoneʻe kēia i ka nui o nā mea hoʻololi i kēia ʻenehana.

Ua hōʻike ʻo Oscar Vidal, ka luna hoʻokele huahana a me ka hoʻolālā honua, Large Format Print no HP, i ka mīkini paʻi HP Latex 2700W Plus hou, kekahi o nā huahana hou he nui a HP i loaʻa ma PRINTING United 2024.

"ʻO ka ʻīnika latex ma nā kahua paʻa e like me ka corrugated, pili maikaʻi loa ka pepa pahu," wahi a Vidal. "ʻO kekahi o nā nani o ka ʻīnika wai ma ka pepa, ʻo ia ko lākou launa maikaʻi ʻana. Komo ia i loko o ka pepa pahu - he 25 mau makahiki wale nō mākou i hoʻohana i nā ʻīnika wai."

Ma waena o nā hiʻohiʻona hou o ka mīkini paʻi HP Latex 2700W Plus ʻo ia ka mana hoʻonui ʻia o ka ʻīnika.

"Hiki i ka mīkini paʻi HP Latex 2700W Plus ke hoʻonui i ka mana o ka ʻīnika i nā pahu pepa 10-lita, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka huahana kumukūʻai a hiki ke hana hou ʻia," wahi a Vidal. "He kūpono kēia no nā hōʻailona ākea - ʻo nā hae nui kahi mākeke koʻikoʻi - nā ʻōwili kaʻa vinyl hoʻopili ponoʻī a me nā mea hoʻonaninani paia."

Ke hōʻoia nei nā uhi paia i kahi wahi ulu e hiki mai ana no ka paʻi kikohoʻe.

"I kēlā me kēia makahiki, ke ʻike nei mākou i nā mea hou aku i nā uhi paia," wahi a Vidal. "ʻO ka nani o ke kikohoʻe hiki iā ʻoe ke paʻi i nā ʻano like ʻole. He mea kūikawā nō ka wai no nā uhi paia, no ka mea, ʻaʻohe ona ʻala, a kiʻekiʻe loa ke ʻano. Hoʻohanohano kā mākou mau ʻīnika wai i ka ʻili, no ka mea, hiki nō iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kumu. Hoʻomaikaʻi mākou i kā mākou mau ʻōnaehana, mai nā poʻo paʻi a me nā ʻīnika a hiki i ka lako a me ka polokalamu. He ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ke poʻo paʻi no nā ʻīnika wai a me ka latex."

Ua hōʻike ʻo Marc Malkin, ka luna PR no Roland DGA, i nā mōhai hou mai Roland DGA, e hoʻomaka ana me nā mīkini paʻi TrueVis 64, i loaʻa i nā ʻīnika eco solvent, latex a me UV.

"Ua hoʻomaka mākou me ka TrueVis eco-solvent, a i kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā mākou nā mīkini paʻi/ʻoki Latex a me LG series e hoʻohana ana iā UV," wahi a Malkin. "ʻO VG3 nā mea kūʻai nui iā mākou a i kēia manawa ʻo ka TrueVis LG UV series nā huahana i makemake nui ʻia; ke kūʻai nei nā mīkini paʻi i kēia mau mea ma ke ʻano he mīkini paʻi no nā kumu āpau, mai ka hoʻopili ʻana a me nā uhi paia a hiki i nā hōʻike hōʻailona a me nā hōʻike POP. Hiki iā ia ke hana i nā ʻīnika gloss a me ke embossing, a i kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā ia kahi gamut ākea i ko mākou hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻīnika ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Malkin ʻo kekahi ʻāpana nui ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia nā mākeke pilikino a me nā hoʻopilikino e like me ke kapa.

"Aia ʻo Roland DGA i kēia manawa ma ka paʻi DTF no nā lole," wahi a Malkin. "ʻAʻole hiki ke lanakila ʻia ka mīkini paʻi DTF versastudio BY 20 no ke kumukūʻai no ka hana ʻana i nā lole maʻamau a me nā ʻeke tote. He 10 mau minuke wale nō e hana ai i kahi pālule T maʻamau. ʻO ka moʻo VG3 ka mea i makemake nui ʻia no nā ʻōwili kaʻa, akā kūpono nō hoʻi ka mīkini paʻi AP 640 Latex no kēlā, no ka mea, ʻaʻole pono ka manawa hoʻopau gas. Loaʻa i ka VG3 ka ʻīnika keʻokeʻo a me ka gamut ākea ma mua o ka latex."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sean Chien, ka luna hoʻokele ma waho no INKBANK, he nui ka hoihoi i ka paʻi ʻana ma ka lole. "He mākeke ulu ia no mākou," wahi a Chien.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lily Hunter, ka luna huahana, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc., ua hoihoi ka poʻe i hele mai i ka mīkini paʻi dye sublimation F9570H hou a Epson.

"Ua kahaha nā mea hele i ka hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi a me ka nani a pehea e hoʻouna ai i kahi hana paʻi ma ka wikiwiki a me ka maikaʻi - pani kēia i nā hanauna āpau o nā mīkini paʻi dye 64"," wahi a Hunter. "ʻO kekahi mea a ka poʻe e aloha nei ʻo kā mākou hoʻomaka ʻana i ka ʻenehana o kā mākou mīkini paʻi roll-to-roll direct-to-film (DTF), ʻaʻohe inoa i kēia manawa.

"Ua maikaʻi loa ka pane - e kūʻai ʻia aku ana mākou ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka hōʻike," wahi a Lopez. "Ua loaʻa maikaʻi ʻia. Ke hana nei ka poʻe i ka noiʻi ʻana ma nā mīkini paʻi pololei-i-mea a ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o kā mākou kumukūʻai ma mua o kā mākou mau mea hoʻokūkū, a hana mākou i ka varnish, he hopena hou aʻe. Ua lilo pū ka SureColor S9170 i mea kaulana loa no mākou. Ke paʻi nei mākou ma mua o 99% o ka waihona puke Pantone ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka ʻīnika ʻōmaʻomaʻo."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gabriella Kim, ka luna hoʻolaha honua no DuPont, he nui ka poʻe i hele mai ma DuPont e nānā i kāna mau ʻīnika Artistri.

"Ke hōʻike nei mākou i nā ʻīnika pololei-i-kiʻiʻoniʻoni (DTF) a mākou i hōʻike ai ma drupa," i hōʻike ai ʻo Kim. "Ke ʻike nei mākou i ka ulu nui a me ka hoihoi i kēia ʻāpana. ʻO ka mea a mākou e ʻike nei i kēia manawa, ʻo ia nā mīkini paʻi pale a me nā mīkini paʻi sublimation dye e ʻimi nei e hoʻohui i nā mīkini paʻi DTF, hiki ke paʻi ma nā mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka polyester. He nui ka poʻe e kūʻai ana i nā hoʻoili e hoʻolimalima ana i waho, akā ke noʻonoʻo nei lākou e kūʻai i kā lākou lako ponoʻī; ke emi nei ke kumukūʻai o ka hana ʻana ma ka hale."

"Ke ulu nui nei mākou i ka ʻike ʻana i ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana," wahi a Kim. "Hana mākou i ka aftermarket e like me ka P1600 a hana pū mākou me nā OEM. Pono mākou e noho ma ka aftermarket no ka mea ke ʻimi mau nei ka poʻe i nā ʻīnika like ʻole. Ke ikaika nei ka direct-to-dress, a ke ulu nei hoʻi ka laulā ākea a me ka dye sublimation. He mea hoihoi loa ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mau mea a pau ma hope o ka maʻi ahulau ma nā ʻāpana like ʻole."

He nui nā ʻano mīkini paʻi hou a EFI ma kāna kū a me kāna mau hoa.

"Ua maikaʻi loa ka hōʻike," wahi a Ken Hanulec, Hope Pelekikena o ke kūʻai aku ʻana no EFI. "He maikaʻi loa koʻu hui holoʻokoʻa a he bullish.

Ua hōʻike ʻo Josh Hope, ka luna hoʻokele kūʻai aku no Mimaki, ʻo ke kumu nui o Mimaki ʻo ia nā huahana ākea ʻehā hou no ka manawa mua.

"ʻO ka JFX200 1213EX kahi mīkini UV pālahalaha 4x4 i hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o ka paepae JFX holomua loa o Mimaki, me kahi ʻāpana paʻi o 50x51 ʻīniha a e like me kā mākou mīkini nui aʻe, ʻekolu mau poʻo paʻi staggered a lawe i kā mākou mau set ʻīnika like," wahi a Hope. "Paʻi ia i nā hōʻailona Braille a me ADA, no ka mea hiki iā mākou ke paʻi bi-directional. ʻO ka moʻo CJV 200 kahi mīkini ʻoki paʻi hou i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka pae komo me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā poʻo paʻi like me kā mākou 330 nui aʻe.

"ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa iā mākou i kēia manawa, ʻo 25% o kā mākou mea kūʻai aku e kūʻai nei i kā lākou mīkini paʻi lua, ʻo ia ka hōʻike nui loa i kā mākou ʻenehana," wahi a Harpak. "ʻO nā kamaʻilio e pili ana i ke ʻano e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻohui i kā mākou mīkini paʻi. ʻO ka ʻīnika kekahi o nā kumu nui e hiki ai iā mākou ke loaʻa ke kūlike o ke kala a me ka hana hou ʻana o ke kala hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa, ʻoiai ke nānā nei ʻoe i nā kala brand. Ke loaʻa nei iā mākou he 96% o Pantone me nā kala 7 a mākou e hoʻohana ai - CMYK, ʻalani, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka uliuli. ʻO ke ʻano ʻālohilohi a me ka hoʻopuehu ʻole o ka mālamalama ke kumu e nani ai kona ʻano. Hiki nō hoʻi iā mākou ke kūlike ma kekahi substrate, a ʻaʻohe priming a i ʻole pretreatment."

"ʻO ka hihiʻo ʻo Landa i kēia manawa he mea maoli," wahi a Bill Lawler, ka luna hoʻomohala hui, Landa Digital Printing. "Ke ʻike nei mākou e hele mai ana ka poʻe iā mākou me ka nānā pono a makemake e ʻike i kā mākou moʻolelo. Ma mua ma PRINTING United, he poʻe wale nō e makemake ana e ʻike i kā mākou hana. I kēia manawa, aia iā mākou ma mua o 60 mau mīkini paʻi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Ke kokoke nei e pau kā mākou hale hana ʻīnika hou ma Carolinas."

He nui nā mīkini paʻi hou a Konica Minolta ma PRINTING United 2024, i alakaʻi ʻia e ka AccurioLabel 400.

"ʻO AccurioLabel 400 kā mākou mīkini paʻi hou loa, e hāʻawi ana i ke koho o ke keʻokeʻo, ʻoiai ʻo kā mākou AccurioLabel 230 he home run 4-kala," wahi a Frank Mallozzi, pelekikena, paʻi ʻoihana a me ka hana no Konica Minolta. "Ke hui pū nei mākou me GM a hāʻawi i kekahi mau koho maikaʻi loa a me nā mea hoʻonani. He toner-based, paʻi ma 1200 dpi a makemake nui nā mea kūʻai aku. Loaʻa iā mākou ma kahi o 1,600 mau ʻāpana i hoʻokomo ʻia a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā mākou mahele mākeke ma ia wahi."

"Ke alualu nei mākou i ka mea kūʻai aku nāna e hoʻolimalima i kā lākou hana lepili kikohoʻe pōkole a kōkua iā lākou e lawe mai i loko o ka hale," wahi a Mallozzi. "Paʻi ia ma nā ʻano mea like ʻole, a ke kuhikuhi nei mākou i ka mākeke hoʻololi."

Ua hōʻike ʻo Konica Minolta i kāna AccurioJet 3DW400 ma Labelexpo, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he kupaianaha ka pane.

"ʻO ka AccurioJet 3DW400 ka mea mua o kona ʻano e hana i nā mea āpau i hoʻokahi manawa, me ka varnish a me ka foil," wahi a Mallozzi. "Ua loaʻa maikaʻi loa ia ma ka mākeke; ma nā wahi āpau āu e hele ai, pono ʻoe e hana i nā multi-pass a hoʻopau kēia i kēlā, e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i ka huahana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hewa. Ke makemake nei mākou e kūkulu i ka ʻenehana e hāʻawi i ka automation a me ka hoʻoponopono hewa a e like me ka holo ʻana i kahi kope, a ua mahalo nui wau i kā mākou mea."

"Ua maikaʻi ka hōʻike - hauʻoli loa mākou i ko mākou komo ʻana," wahi a Mallozzi. "Nui nā mea a mākou e hana ai e loaʻa ai nā mea kūʻai aku ma aneʻi a ua hana maikaʻi kā mākou hui me ia."

Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Deborah Hutchinson, ka luna hoʻomohala ʻoihana a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana, inkjet, ʻAmelika ʻĀkau no Agfa, ua loaʻa i ka automation ka nui o ka nānā ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka wahi hoihoi i kēia manawa.

"Ke hoʻāʻo nei ka poʻe e hōʻemi i ke kumukūʻai o ka hana a me ka hana," wahi a Hutchinson. "Lawe ia i ka hana nui a hoʻolilo i nā limahana e hana i kekahi mau hana hoihoi a uku nui."

Eia kekahi laʻana, loaʻa iā Agfa nā robots ma kāna Tauro a me ka Grizzly, a ua hoʻolauna pū i ka auto loader ma ka Grizzly, ka mea e hōʻiliʻili i nā pepa, hoʻopaʻa inoa iā ia, paʻi a hoʻopaʻa i nā pepa i paʻi ʻia.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hutchinson ua neʻe ka Tauro i kahi hoʻonohonoho 7-kala, e neʻe ana i nā pastel muted, me ka cyan māmā a me ka magenta māmā, e hoʻokō i nā pono o nā mea kūʻai aku.

"Ke nānā nei mākou i ka versatility a me ka maʻalahi i ka mīkini paʻi - makemake nā mea hoʻololi e hiki ke hele mai ka ʻōwili a i ka paʻa ke hiki mai kahi hana wela," wahi a Hutchinson. "Ua kūkulu ʻia ka ʻōwili flexo i loko o ka Tauro a hoʻoneʻe wale ʻoe i ka papa no nā pepa. Hoʻomaikaʻi kēia i ka ROI o nā mea kūʻai aku a me ka wikiwiki i ka mākeke me kā lākou mau hana paʻi. Ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e kōkua i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kā lākou kumukūʻai paʻi."

Ma waena o kāna mau hoʻolauna ʻē aʻe, ua lawe mai ʻo Agfa i ka Condor i ka mākeke ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. Hāʻawi ka Condor i kahi ʻōwili 5-mika akā hiki ke holo ʻia i ʻelua a ʻekolu paha i luna. He mea hou loa ka Jeti Bronco, e hāʻawi ana i kahi ala ulu no nā mea kūʻai aku ma waena o kahi pae komo a me kahi ākea kiʻekiʻe, e like me ka Tauro.

"Ua maikaʻi loa ka hōʻike," wahi a Hutchinson. "ʻO ke kolu kēia o ka lā a ke loaʻa nei iā mākou nā kānaka ma ʻaneʻi. Wahi a kā mākou poʻe kūʻai aku, ʻo ka ʻike ʻana o kā lākou mea kūʻai aku i nā mīkini paʻi e hana ana e hoʻoneʻe i ke kaʻina kūʻai aku. Ua lanakila ʻo Grizzly i ka Pinnacle Award no ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mea, a ua lanakila pū ka ʻīnika i ka Pinnacle Award. He ʻano wili pigment maikaʻi loa ko kā mākou ʻīnika a he kiʻekiʻe ka ukana pigment, no laila he haʻahaʻa kona ʻano ʻīnika a ʻaʻole hoʻohana nui i ka ʻīnika."
