Ipex to see D&K launches?
D&K will show several new finishing solutions at Ipex, including the Jupiter DS and Pictor one/two sided laminators plus various mounting, laminating and encapsulating films.
Sales manager John Hancock said: "The introduction of the Jupiter DS, a compact one/two-sided laminator, will round out the Jupiter range which currently consists of the Jupiter 25m/minute and 30m/minute models. The Jupiter DS has B2 capability but has retained a compact footprint despite having the ability to laminate two-sides in one pass. ?We have concentrated on ways of increasing productivity so the Jupiter DS is now fitted with electrical heated rollers rather than the oil filled version. This results in quicker heat up times and cool down periods are also reduced meaning quicker changes between single and double-sided work. ?The fitting of air shafts on the film mandrels also means quicker roll changes.
"Another model receiving its debut will be the Pictor, an industrial quality one/two side laminator designed for short runs.
"D&K also manufactures a range of mounting, laminating and encapsulating films (including those with our SuperStick resin for digital print). Recent investment at our plant in Janesville, US, has resulted in scuff resistant Ultra Matt films that are just starting to roll out within our polyester range. ?As well as retaining colour definition and density the coating is scuff resistant with a pleasantly tactile feel to it. ?We will be able to supply mapped and matched rolls, both matt/matt and matt/gloss."
