troduced the X630i digital corrugated press. The single pass, flexo caliber machine was installed at the Louisville facility in August and is the first installation in North Amer- ica. Printing at speeds up to 246 fpm (75m per min), the X630i offers throughput on a small footprint, measuring 10 ft H x 38 ft W x 21 ft D and allows for a wide range of print options. MacDonald says the press is “fundamentally dif- ferent” from other digital presses for corrugated because it can operate in an industrial production environment, has a relatively small footprint, uses aqueous inks and includes components from well-known corrugated industry suppli- ers. The X630i is based on Domino’s proven Generation 6 ink jet platform, which has nearly 1000 global industri- al installations. The press is ideal for shipping containers, shelf-ready packaging, and displays and features Domi- no’s i-Tech intelligent Technology for high quality printing. The Domino AQ95 aqueous ink set is Swiss Ordinance and Nestle compliant for food packaging and enables printing on a wide range of uncoated and coated stocks, with no pre-coating primer or bonding agent required. The print resolution is 600 dpi.

Domino has partnered with well-known suppliers, such as Esko for the digital front end, and SUN Automation for the lead edge feeding system. “That was reassuring to us,” MacDonald says. “SUN is in a lot of plants and if you’re getting that sheet through the machine uniformly and con- sistently without any issues – good in is good out – then that’s a great start and something that we thought made this a strong partnership. The SUN experience in the ma- chine meant that important element of transfer was well- known and had a good DNA behind it.” The servo driven continuous bottom feeding system provides automated setup for sheet sizes, caliper and vac- uum assist. It can store jobs and sheet sizes for quick set- up and can feed E- to B/C-flute. Another feature on the X630i that MacDonald likes is the range in blank sizes that the press can handle, which he says is more accommodating for Independent II’s The press has a SUN Automation lead edge feeding system.
