Abbott. This advanced equipment enabled Abbott-Action to replace their lithography business allowing them to pro- vide their customers with enhanced capabilities, superior litho-quality digital printing, and faster turnaround. “Litho is time consuming,” says Abbott. “You’re dealing with the metal plating process, proofing, transportation. Then you have extra processes and production time for glue and top sheet application. Digital supports small- er runs than litho and enhances the flexibility and color accuracy we can offer our customers. Litho match prints require extra time and can be inaccurate. The Jetmaster proof is a digital file. We print directly on to the substrate so what you see is what you get.” Digital printing also accommodates multiple art itera- tions on the same structure, enabling bulk runs and vol- ume advantages making it an ideal solution for brands promoting regional products. Using one structure, prod- ucts can easily be personalized or customized for different markets while maintaining design consistency. Through Abbott-Action’s G7 certification they ensure exceptional color consistency by seamlessly integrating digital and lithographic processes. They have applied G7 principles across their operations to manage color consis- tency throughout all stages of production. While not every machine is G7 certified, the core standards have been im- plemented to enhance overall quality.
