Xeikon Café attracts Diamond Photofoil

Print Solutions

Advantages of digital thermal transfers using premium foil and automated application systems will be presented by Diamond Photofoil at the Xeikon Café Packaging Innovations 2017 (28 to 31 March). A range of applications for digital transfer printing will be shown on a wide variety of products including pens, packaging tubes, ice buckets, and point of sale displays.

For more than ten years Diamond Photofoil has successfully built a market for plastic decoration using a Xeikon 3000 digital press. During the Café, applications for high resolution digital transfers applied in automated printing lines for tube products such as pen barrels and cosmetic packaging will be demonstrated live.

Managing director David Hitch commented, ‘We are a pioneer in heat transfer label decoration, an application that doesn’t really have an exhibition platform for us to illustrate its strength as a unique decoration method. We see Xeikon Café as an exceptional opportunity to demonstrate our capability to a broader audience and provide a deeper understanding of the concept to attendees.’

Photofoil digital printed transfers provide full colour photorealistic printing for plastics with no origination cost and short lead times direct from digital artwork. Other advantages include no solvents or wet inks, full 360 degree wrap, and full automation.

David Hitch will also deliver an informative presentation during the Xeikon Café technical conference about Diamond Photofoil digital transfer for rigid thermoplastic products.
