At next week’s Packaging Innovations show the firm will provide a sneak peak of its new CS5000 printer, ahead of its official launch at Ipex.
The CS5000 is a five-colour printer that offers users a choice of CMYK plus white or clear toner. The 50ppm, SRA3 device can also print banner lengths of up to 1.3m, onto stock ranges up to 400gsm.
Head of PR and marketing Terri Winstanley said it was simple for users to switch between the two additional toner options. “There’s a special kit and it’s incredibly quick and easy to switch from clear to white,” she said.
The CS5000 also has a sister machine, the CS4000, which has the same spec but is limited to CMYK. Pricing for both models is to be confirmed.
A range of feeders and stackers for handling different media types, such as envelopes, board and polyester substrates, is also available.
Ipex will be the official launch for the new printers. Intec said the 2010 show had been “immensely successful” for the firm, and that it planned to showcase its entire portfolio alongside the new devices at the London’s Excel next month.
Meanwhile, next week’s Packaging Innovations will also see the launch of the firm’s LCF215 label finishing system, which works with Intec’s own digital label printer or as a standalone device.
The roll-to-roll system has been manufactured in America to Intec’s specification. It includes a knife cutter able to cut any label shape, a lamination applicator, and a five-blade slitting system.
It costs £17,999 and runs at 3m/min.
“We are bundling it together with our Edge 850 label printer as a complete solution, or it can be used as a standalone finisher to work with existing label printers,” Winstanley said.
2014 is set to be a busy year for the Poole-based business, which is also celebrating its 25th anniversary. “We are linking the celebrations with a number of promotions, and will be doing some show specials at both Packaging Innovations and Ipex as a result,” she added.
Separately, the EFI Fiery XF frontend workflow and colour management system for the firm’s CP3000 printer has also begun shipping.
Packaging Innovations takes place from 26-27 February at Birmingham’s NEC. Ipex takes place from 24-29 March at London’s Excel.
