inline digital printing experts, datalase, has further granted a patent for its variprint digital printing platform. the revolutionary print solution combines datalase core colourchange materials technology with the next generation of ultrahigh performance laser print engines to deliver high speed, high resolution, ondemand digital printing. this enables brand owners to digitally print products and packaging inline at full line speeds, realising maximum benefit from late stage customisation. &ldquothis patent further strengthens our position, providing overarching protection for a broad range of materials that enable inkless digital printing&rdquo said datalase programme manager for materials, dr. anthony jarvis. variprint materials can be incorporated into a broad range of coatings, including waterbased, solventbased and uv curable systems, allowing virtually any substrate to be digitally printed. in combination with the scalable modular design of the variprint print engine, this allows a diverse range of applications to be addressed, including high speed coding, mailing, inline digital printing of labels and packaging, late stage customisation of corrugated cases and direct decoration of bottles and closures.
