Wide Format Scanners and Folders: Building a Faster ROWE Workflow Studio

If your team handles technical drawings every day, the time sink is rarely the printing itself — it’s everything around it: collecting originals, scanning cleanly, naming files, sharing them, reprinting, and then folding and preparing packs for site or archives. ROWE’s wide format ecosystem is built to turn that “messy middle” into a repeatable workflow, combining German-engineered scanners (like the ROWE Scan 450i and 850i) with compact, modular folding systems such as the ROWE VarioFold Compact. The goal is simple: reduce manual handling, standardise output, and keep jobs moving without bottlenecks.

Stroll through any supermarket, and you will see many sorts of packaging, bags, boxes, movies, and containers. The challenge of keeping ink movement from the printed data on food and staple packaging keeps numerous physicists, printers, and brand leaders awake at night.

It's easy to understand their nervousness. A few guidelines, like the Swiss Ordinance and the Nestlé Guidelines on Food Contact materials, require tough testing to guarantee contaminant levels measure under 10 parts for every billion.

For some perspective on how small an amount this is, consider that one pack of sugar in an Olympic-size swimming pool is a concentration of one part per billion. Now think about measuring for that.

To understand how food packaging stays below these contaminant thresholds, we must first understand what ink migration is, what causes it, and what options there are for preventing it.

What is Ink Migration in Consumer Products

Large format printing used to be costly, yet with more printers coming out, it has become more available to a more extensive scope of advertisers, including promoters. The accessibility of cheap large format ink additionally adds to the popularity of the printing that has taken over generally conventional and old-school techniques like letterpress and lithography.

Having your own large-format printer will allow you to create any marketing, packaging, or sales material you will require without re-appropriating the work to an outsider printing organization. Yet is it worth the speculation? In this blog, we'll examine the advantages of large format printing for organizations so you can settle on an educated choice.

1. A further developed and advantageous approach to print large format media.

To see the value in the convenience of large format printing, we should contrast it with customary printing measures like lithography and letterpress.

Industrial inkjet printing refers to any use of printing technology within the manufacturing process, It can either refer to printing directly on the product itself (as with many textile and electronic markets) or large-scale printing of product packaging. The rise of inkjet printing technologies has fuelled a new focus on the process far above any other printing sector and analysts predict the market surpassing $130 Billion by 2022. Industrial printing evolves alongside a variety of markets, in many cases, digital inkjet printing technologies are not only reacting to market change but proactively driving advances in production quality and cost. Here are four markets that digital inkjet printing has revolutionized.

Inkjet Printing for Textiles

Advances in inkjet printing have allowed for textile printing to become more nimble. Traditionally, screen-printing was required for textile printing and production runs had to be large to be cost-effective. Digital inkjet

For many consumers, shopping is an experience, not just a chore. The sights, sounds, and smells of the typical shopping experience excite these customers. To compete with e-commerce, today’s owners of brick-and-mortar stores are embracing what author George Ritzer describes as “retailtainment,” in his book, Enchanting a Disenchanted World: Revolutionizing the Means of Consumption.

Despite stores slowly reopening, e-commerce has continued to show strong year-over-year results—Digital Commerce 360 reports e-commerce sales are up 55% in July 2020 compared to the previous year.

Now e-tailers must compete for consumers with more than the ease of click-and-buy. Savvy e-commerce stores know the value of the shopping experience for brand positioning. They have created packaging that fuels millennials to post

The Fastest Growing Inkjet Technology in 2021 - Drop on Demand (DOD)

Drop on Demand Ink technology Printers are predicted to become the fastest growing sector this year for industrial applications. Printing on plastic, cardboard, packaging, hardware, timber, and metals has never been faster. Proof of the DOD inkjet technology making its mark on the industry is shown by Amazon, announcing that over the next few years they will be investing $400 million on expanding digital printing capabilities.

Just a handful of DOD printing’s benefits are flexibility, reduced downtime, mass personalization, and functionality. And it is the combination of these advantages that are behind the ever expanding market growth for DOD that is happening now and in the next several years.
