To help industrial manu- facturers and label converters overcome these chal- lenges, Epson America, Inc., has introduced the ColorWorks C7500 Label Printer with Just In Time Color (JITC) Labeling. Powered by PrecisionCore print chip technology, the bench top printer intro- duced greater efficiency, productivity and cost savings—up to 50 percent in total labeling costs— for higher volume industrial and manufacturing applications. The C7500 system is designed to efficiently and cost-effectively meet the needs of industrial manufacturers fulfilling high mix label requirements and variable printing demands. Epson's PrecisionCore technology enables the new printer to deliver speed, economy, and print quality to manufacturers. The modular print chip merges enhanced print speed, image quality, ink durability, and color resolution with the flexibility to cost-effectively scale up pro- duction as needed. The C7500 is Epson's first ColorWorks industrial printer with a print head con- figured in a linehead configuration. This new linehead technology delivers a higher image resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi at faster speeds with very precise dot placement and high-speed media handling. The 4-color printer delivers the same low cost per label and high image durability of previous ColorWorks labeling solutions while increas- ing print speed by as much as 430 percent and ink capacity tenfold. The printer is constructed with an industrial grade metal casing for added durability in demanding manufacturing environments. It comes equipped with ZPL II programming compatibility to allow direct plug-in replacement for manufacturers operating two-step printing with traditional thermal transfer printers. In this application, the printer can produce full color labels from blank stock by automatically merging "color pre-print" images in memory with exist- ing monochrome data streams. MyPRINTResource.com/10005229 AccuBlend-LV Ink Dispensing System GFI Innovations has announced the new AccuBlend-LV Ink Dispensing System for low viscous flexo inks. The sys- tem offers a host of benefits to improve control over the process, schedules and workflow of ink dispensing. The robust, fully self-contained machine combines an attrac- tive design and compact footprint to make the dispensing of spot ink colors simpler and more time effective. With a proven two-stage dispense valve design, AccuBlend-LV features a dozen integrated 5-gallon vessels. Fully configurable so source containers such as drums can be added to satisfy demand, the AccuBlend-LV's design makes refilling simple. Since the design is fully modular, it can even be configured to accommodate 55-gallon drum batch sizes. New COLORBOOK dispenser software with touch screen controls drives this machine. Nearly all dispenser and data management functions are contained on one screen, and navigation, the tracking of lot numbers, and batch color correction are functions made easier to maintain, especially when using work-off inks. MyPRINTResource.com/10005523 Reflections NewPage Corporation has introduced Reflections, a 60-pound (89 gsm) high gloss cast coated alternative label paper designed for high-end wet glue and pressure sensi- tive applications that require smooth printing and a mirror gloss appearance, such as spir- its, wine, and pharmaceutical labels. Reflections resembles cast coated grades with superior surface uniformity and features a high gloss effect achieved without the use of varnishes, UV or aqueous coatings. Reflections is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) com- pliant for direct and indirect food contact. It is available with third-party chain-of-custody certifications to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

The Floating Acceleration Table means that no electri- cal or mechanical modifications to your printer are necessary. It is capable of run- ning media sizes from 3x5-inch postcards to 10x13-inch envelopes and more. MyPRINTResource.com/10718715
