U.K. Packaging Company Caps Cases Installs World's 1st EFI Nozomi 14000 LED Digital Corrugated PressFREMONT, Calif., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electronics For Imaging, Inc. continues to expand its market-leading position in single-pass inkjet digital press technology for corrugated packaging. The company, which has the largest share of single-pass inkjet corrugated press installations with its Nozomi C18000 Plus platform, has completed an installation of its new EFI™ Nozomi 14000 LED product. In March, U.K.-based corrugated packaging manufacturer Caps Cases became the first business in the world to acquire the 14000 model, a 55-inch wide, ultra-high-speed digital press designed for mainstream, high-volume packaging production. The newly launched single-pass UV LED inkjet press now running at Caps Cases’ facility in Newmarket brings enhanced productivity, reliability, value and flexibility to the industrial packaging segment. Printing at speeds up to 328 linear feet per minute, the Nozomi 14000 LED press is designed to deliver high uptime and reliability, with durable performance in heavy industrial production, direct to board on nearly all flute types. The corrugated packaging press also boasts superior color registration and Nozomi presses’ award-winning imaging quality in a 55-inch wide format targeted to fit converters’ production space requirements. Caps Cases: Leading the way in corrugated Along with offering the strongest technological solution, Trevor recognized EFI as an ideal partner for his business. “Throughout the buying process, it was clear that EFI is a professional, supportive, and transparent organization. We have been able to virtually design a system that EFI have then brought to life for us to ensure it fits our goals, production process, and physical space, so they have been very accommodating.” The single-pass solution for better brand success The EFI Nozomi 14000 LED press is available in a range of configurations to complement packaging converters’ individual needs. Following consultancy from EFI, Caps Cases opted to start with a five-color set-up, CMYK plus white ink, with the peace of mind that the company has the option of adding orange or violet inks at a later stage. Top-tier technology in the next evolution of digital corrugated printing Evandro Matteucci, VP and GM, Packaging & Building Materials, EFI Inkjet, commented, “The response to the Nozomi 14000 LED has been incredible, and it validates what we came to understand during the research and development process, as well as through ongoing dialogue with our corrugated packaging customers. There is an essential need in the market for a highly productive, reliable, and versatile industrial packaging solution designed for more compact production lines. “We are thrilled that Caps Cases has become the first business globally to invest in and install the latest evolution of EFI’s breakthrough Nozomi platform. We are looking forward to supporting Trevor Bissett and his team as they increase productivity, alleviate bottlenecks, and deliver more value to their brand owner clients using the outstanding graphics quality and flexibility of our award-winning single-pass UV LED inkjet technology.” Demand for EFI Nozomi single-pass inkjet solutions continues to accelerate, especially among packaging converters capturing growth opportunities in the adoption of digital printing. Upcoming placements include the first North American installation of the Nozomi 14000 LED model at Complete Design & Packaging, a U.S.-based converter adding its second Nozomi press.
