At the Label Printing Roadshow, organized by Konica Minolta Business Solutions Italia in the splendid setting of the Cantina VentiVenti in Medolla (MO), Prati contributed to making the \u00abdifference\u201d. After the digital toner printing of the new AccurioLabel machines, it was the turn of the DIGI COMPACT to unwind and rewind the adhesive paper rolls to execute all finishing stages and obtain quality labels.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Prati was chosen as the trusted finishing partner for the February 6-7 stop of the 2025 Label Printing Roadshow<\/strong>, a special event that celebrated the meeting of three manufacturers: Konica Minolta Business Solutions Italia, Prati, and UPM Raflatac, each playing a crucial role in label production, to explore the value of a systemic vision of the process. During the event, it was possible to discover the state-of-the-art in Konica label printing systems and roll-to-roll digital enhancement in a journey that showcased all the strengths of an end-to-end workflow: from printing to label finishing with die-cutting and protection through flexo coatings.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the Label Printing Roadshow, the audience had the opportunity to:<\/p>\n But let\u2019s see how DIGI COMPACT<\/strong> made \u00abthe difference\u201d. It is a compact and ergonomic solution that provides a high-performance digital finishing line. Easy to use, highly intuitive, and fully customizable, it can combine analog and digital technology on a wide range of materials from 12 to 350 microns. Additionally, thanks to a reduced paper passage, it ensures waste reduction during the set-up phase.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Michelangelo Mascellaro, showroom manager at Prati, showcased the machine in roll-to-roll configuration during the event, capturing the audience’s attention. Here\u2019s why: \u00abWe pre-treated the roll material with a corona treatment to print a glossy or matt protective varnish, depending on the request. This was followed by register die-cutting with our semi-rotary die, which offers numerous advantages. First of all, the operator does not need to change the magnetic cylinder, as they can always use the same one; it is sufficient to modify only the work parameters on the machine. Once the register system is set, we can also adjust the cutting depth, thanks to our gap master, and then finish the job by cutting and rewinding. The machine is very simple and intuitive, yet includes a lot of automation, not to mention the significant savings achieved by using a single magnetic cylinder while only changing the blade.\u00bb<\/p>\n What did customers appreciate most? \u00abCertainly the modularity: in addition to the corona treatment, we can add flexo printing modules, control systems, etc., and configure the machine for roll-to-stack operations (to produce, for example, single-layer labels with plastic films and then stack the labels).<\/p>\n The DIGI COMPACT can also be customized with a semi-automatic turret with an automatic cutting group to significantly reduce processing times. Blade positioning occurs in 20 seconds with millimetric precision, and since the blades are self-sharpening and positioned at an angle, the customer can continue to use the blade group for over 5 years, with excellent performance!\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
