Me & My: Domino N610i, seven-colour digital press

Please describe Jain Transfer Products.

We are a manufacturer of self-adhesive labels based in Noida. Being a family-run business, we take pride in our heritage and commitment to high-quality.

When did you start to use the press?

The seven-colour Domino N610i digital label press was installed at the beginning of 2021.

What are the properties of the press you like?

One of the standout features is its ability to print high-density white. This capability allows us to achieve a finish that resembles screen printing. This is appreciated by our cosmetic clients who prefer using clear-on-clear material.

Why did you decide to use the press?

It was driven by the demand from our customers for quick turnarounds and shorter-run length jobs.

Did you look at other similar products?

Yes, we evaluated several toner-based digital printing presses, including the HP Indigo.

What are the features that tilted the favour in this?

The absence of click charges, the ability to print on a variety of substrates, and the high-opacity white in a single pass were the critical features that made Domino stand out from its industry peers. These aspects have enhanced our production capabilities and reduced operational costs.

How much have these features helped you?

It has been instrumental in shortening our development cycle, allowing us to offer various options of a single label to our customers. The vibrancy of the UV inks helps the labels stand out.

For what applications is the press used?

We use the press for printing short to medium-run length jobs, which are single-run productions. This makes it an ideal for handling diverse customer requirements with precision and efficiency.

Is there anything that you do not like?

While the press performs exceptionally across most of our jobs, the ability to print white after printing other colours would be a valuable addition for some of our jobs.

If there’s a critical job that has come your way, would you rely on this to see it through?

We have successfully executed time-critical jobs for our customers using the press. Its reliability and speed make it a go-to solution for such projects.

What’s the quality like?

The quality of the prints produced by the press is exceptional. For instance, the high-opacity/high-density white feature delivers a finish similar to screen printing, offering a premium look and feel that stands out in the market. This feature is unique to the Domino and has been a game-changer for us.

How easy is it to use and handle?

It is user-friendly and does not require highly skilled personnel to operate. However, one needs to have sufficient infrastructure to maximise its potential.

Would you say that it offers value for money?

Yes, it is a value-for-money investment. With a production speed of up to 70 meters per minute, it offers high productivity, making it cost-effective.

What difficulties have you faced?

Any issues encountered with the press have been promptly addressed directly by the Domino support team. The machine has negligible downtime for maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Who do you think the press is right for?

The Domino N610i is an excellent addition to any label converter’s existing offerings. It complements traditional printing methods, expands the range of applications they can cater to, and improves the operational efficiency of the printing unit.

Under what circumstances will you recommend it?

We would recommend it to businesses dealing with short to medium-run length jobs or those looking to diversify their product offerings with quick turnaround times and enhanced print quality.
