Label printer grows its capability
Label printer, Baker Self Adhesive Labels, has increased its digital printing and converting capability with a Roland Soljet XC-540 ink jet printer/cutter. The 1,371mm wide-format installation will be used to print a range of products from posters, signs and point of purchase displays, to banners and decals on paper, films and plastics.
Managing director, Steve Baker, said: "The purchase will enhance our flexibility. The maximum size we were previously able to print was just over A3. Now we can print up to 1,346mm wide in any length at 1,440dpi. The Roland also allows us to print short runs of any shape as it has a built in cutting head. It will enable us to grow our key market in labels as well as enter new ones since we can now print larger labels, banners and signs as well as speciality promotional products."
In order to get the best out of the installation, Baker is sending one of its digital team, Rob Shaw, to a digital print course run by the Roland Academy. The course covers media preparation, print quality standards, finishing and colour management.
