Sheridan Pennsylvania Installs a Second Komori Lithrone GX840P+C Eight-Unit Perfecting Press

Nearly two years after Sheridan Pennsylvania installed its first Komori Lithrone GX840P Eight-Unit Perfecting Press (the first of that model to be installed in the world), the facility has added another.

The second press is virtually identical to the last (absent an extended delivery and coater), featuring LED curing, automated make-ready features, Artificial Intelligence software, and advanced ink management software integration. It is also equipped with the Print Quality Assessment System (PQA-S V5) option, which consists of high-speed cameras for inline quality monitoring. This provides enhanced registration and color control – constantly monitoring product quality for typical print variations or issues.

Having two powerful, intelligent presses at the Pennsylvania facility dramatically improves quality, performance, and capacity. Their highly automated efficiency contributes to Sheridan’s commitment to sustainability by significantly reducing waste and electrical consumption.

“Our corporate parent CJK Group, Inc. continues to afford us top-of-the-line equipment to deliver the highest quality output for our customers – while making the Sheridan name synonymous with print excellence. At this facility, we are very fortunate to operate not only the most technologically advanced sheetfed presses, but industry-leading inkjet presses as well, all complemented by state-of-the-art finishing systems”, commented Sheridan Senior Vice President of Operations, Paul Loy.

Sun Chemical Printed Electronics Inks Verified by TactoTek® for Production Use in IMSE™ Parts

Sun Chemical’s SunTronic® IME inks are approved for production use in IMSE parts after passing the demanding materials testing program from TactoTek®, a Finland-based company that develops, industrializes and licenses in-mold structural electronics (IMSE™) technology. IMSE parts integrate printed electronics and electronic components within 3D injection molded plastics. They combine structure, electronic functions, and aesthetics in single piece, seamless smart surfaces. In IMSE parts, printed electronics can create many features, including circuitry, capacitive touch controls, proximity sensors and antennas. IMSE parts rely on printed silver-based conductive inks and dielectrics to enable multiple layers of printed electronics. “TactoTek is committed to delivering IMSE technology that is predictable, reliably mass produced and performs well through a lifetime of use,” said Paavo Niskala, SVP Advanced Engineering at TactoTek. “IMSE combines diverse materials into a single integrated materials stack, so those materials must be chemically compatible and maintain their electrical integrity through IMSE processing, including thermoforming and injection molding.

Sustainability: EFI Nozomi White Ink Delivers Unique Vibrant Full-Color Print on Brown Board and Achieves OCC Certification from Western Michigan University

High-graphic, efficient digital inkjet corrugated printing on EFI™ Nozomi C18000 ultra-high-speed single-pass inkjet printers continues to reach new benchmarks for packaging providers, including the achievement of another important certification addressing key recyclability needs. Electronics For Imaging, Inc. has received an additional validation from the Western Michigan University (WMU) Recycling, Paper and Coating Pilot Plant – a leading certification organization for corrugated recycling – that further verifies the recycling and repulpability of boards printed with white EFI Nozomi UV LED inks. The WMU Pilot Plant provided an OCC (old corrugated containers) certification to EFI Nozomi white inks, extending the solid, research-driven evidence that Nozomi inkjet-printed corrugated boards can safely, efficiently and effectively enter recycling streams. This new certification follows the WMU Pilot Plant’s initial OCC certification provided for the EFI Nozomi C18000 printer’s CMYK four-color process ink set.
