Mark Andy Hosts Digital One Demonstrations In Mexico Mark Andy hosted live demonstrations of its Digital One press in Mexico early December, with events in Guadalajara and Monterrey. Converters in Mexico are seeing increased de- mands for short run work and shorter lead times. End users adopting “Just-in-Time” (JIT) inventory strate- gies have forced today’s label providers to increase efficiency and decrease waste; digital hybrid tech- nologies offer a logical path to agility within this dy- namic and ever evolving market. As a result, many label converters are looking to add digital hybrid ca- pability to their pressrooms. More than 65 converters and printers were able to view live demonstrations of the press and ask specif- ic technical questions. Much like a traditional demo, the roadshows provided attendees the opportunity to get hands on with the technology. Digital One is an entry-level digital label press that utilizes CMYK dry-toner technology combined with a flexo print station for decoration and inline die-cutting. Color Digital, Etiprint, and Matecmex Label made the decision to purchase Digital One during the events.
