It never en- tered my mind primarily because of the cost of the inks,” he says. “But that has actually happened and the reason is the makeready times to set a job up on the digital press and get it running versus hanging four, five, six plates on a flexo press and getting those in register. Sometimes we can be finished with the job on the digital press before we would have gotten the flexo press up and running.”

In most instances Moore says the combination of makeready speed, run speed and low waste has made digital as competitive as flexo. In addition, moving jobs from flexo to digital has resulted in significant savings for customers, especially for larger orders, and they were able to upgrade their artwork. The Jetmaster’s rated speed is 16,000-feet per hour. It uses UV curing inks, has injection heads and prints in CMYK and light cyan/light magenta or orange/violet, which broadens the color spectrum to cover 90 percent of Pan- tone colors. One of the reasons why U.S. Display Group chose the Barberán press was because of the flexibility to buy inks from several different suppliers. The company uses Toyo Inks and Fuji Primers.
