Domino Wins Second Award for QRT Graphique
- Published: May 20, 2015
CAMBRIDGE, UK | Domino Printing Sciences' N610i digital color ink jet label press has enabled French adhesive label printer QRT Graphique to win its second French Label Award (Les Trophees de l’Etiquettes). This year, the company won the award in the ‘Food’ category after taking the top prize in the "Non-food goods" category in 2014.
Christophe Quirantès, QRT Graphique’s commercial director, comments, “We are delighted to have won an award in the prestigious Les Trophees de l’Etiquettes. Exceptional print quality is extremely important to us and our customers, and this award is testimony that we are able to deliver to these high standards. Domino’s N610i UV ink jet digital label press plays an integral part in this.”
QRT Graphique invested in the four color + white N610i digital ink jet label press option in 2013 to drive its short and medium run business growth. This was the first N610i to be installed in France.
Continues Quirantès, “The N610i is also enabling us to attract new customers, as UV inks produce a screen-printed likeness. It gives the impression of being thicker to the touch, and provides increased abrasion resistance compared to traditional printing. For this award, the judges were particularly impressed with the label’s solid black color and high gloss effect. There are a number of sectors where these qualities are extremely important.”
Domino’s N610i, which was launched as a four-color (CMYK) or five-color option with opaque white in 2013, is now available in up to seven colors, including orange and violet. Central to the appeal of the N610i, is the opaque digital white, which delivers a silkscreen-like finish and provides high opacity white when printing at 50 meters (164 ft) per min. The addition of orange and violet extend the achievable color gamut—allowing up to 90% of the standard Pantone range to be delivered.
