Esko has entered into an OEM relationship with Epson to provide a customised Digital Front-End (DFE) for use with the Epson SurePress L-4033A and L-4033AW inkjet digital label presses.
“As the label and packaging market increasingly transitions from analogue to digital solutions,” said Jef Bogaerts, commercial partnerships at Esko, “manufacturers of digital printing equipment are looking for digital front-end alternatives that can effectively address workflow and job processing issues specific to their industry. Our DFE does just that by streamlining prepress and workflow. And with Esko’s Color Engine 12 integrated into the DFE, it offers Epson the ability to process files of up to seven colours to take full advantage of the capabilities of the L-4033 series presses.”
“As we continue to grow our presence in the label industry, we turned to the industry leader for additional capability,” added Kitahara Tsuyoshi, general manager, Epson. “As the market continues to evolve, so do Epson products and the Esko partnership is another example of our dedication to bringing our customers best-in-class solutions that help their businesses grow and grow with their businesses.”
