Print Capabilities from the Colex Digital Die Cutter & the HP Latex R Series Printer

January 23, 2020

In 2019 we added two machines that have added several services to our lineup. We are always looking for ways to help increase business for all of our clients. As long as we are providing quality print products for our clients we will continue to search for new machines that will save our clients time and money. In this week's blog, we will highlight 2 machines that have changed the way we do certain print projects at Lake Printing.

Colex Digital Die Cutter

Finally a digital cutting system for graphic signs and textile finishing, the Colex Sharp Cut Digital Flatbed Cutter offers versatility, speed and price. With capability to cut adhesive-backed vinyl kiss cutting and through cut with routing capability of 1/16" aluminum in one pass, this makes getting jobs done more quickly and with better precision a breeze!

The Colex Die Cutter is great for digital production of:

Displays & POP’s: 3-Dimensional product displays by contour cutting, trimming, routing and creasing for both rigid and flexible media.
Textile/Fabric: Cut textiles, fabrics and other fibrous materials with the Sharpcut’s motorized fabric cutter.
Packaging: Samples for corrugated, folding carton, foam and other packaging needs are produced easily with automatic cutting and creasing on materials such as paperboard, chipboard, micro-flute, corrugated, honeycomb and much more. Optional packaging design software is available.
Graphics: 2-Dimensional signs, decals, banners, outdoor exhibits and intricate lettering can all be cut, trimmed, or routed within minutes.

We've added the HP Latex R Series to our printing equipment. This is the first true hybrid latex printer that merges HP’s renowned flexible printing capabilities into rigid printing. The HP Latex R Series brings the most vibrant colors into the rigid printing world, and pioneers white ink capabilities with the introduction of HP Latex White Ink. HP’s first rigid Latex printer, the revolutionary R series, can open your business to a whole new world of creative opportunities and offerings, such as amazing colors both on rigid and flexible, the glossiest of whites across media, smarter printing, and more uptime. This printer allows us to preserve the attributes of the media used and is equipped with automatic color calibration, guaranteeing color consistency across your print.

The HP Latex R Series printer is great for digital production for the following:

Retail: Expand into high-value applications with amazing colors and the glossiest of whites. One technology gives you color uniformity across campaigns, so no more print and mount. And durable, flexible HP Latex Inks make lamination easy.
Outdoor Signage: Create amazing signage with durable and flexible water-based HP Latex Inks that provide high adhesion and outstanding scratch resistance, so you can assemble and cut without chipping, and laminate with ease.
Window Graphics: Set yourself apart from your competition with applications that provide the glossiest whites on transparent and colored media with high-opacity white that resists yellowing over time.
Events and Exhibitions: Offer brand color consistency across rigid and flexible using one printer. Durable, flexible HP Latex Inks deliver applications that don’t smell, ideal for indoor applications. And you can assemble and cut without chipping.
Decoration: Enter the highly profitable world of decoration. Achieve the glossiest of whites on new substrates like wood, aluminum, glass, ceramic, and acrylic while preserving the gloss and feel —and deliver prints with no smell.
Vehicle Wrap and Graphics: Build brands and grow your business with high-quality, easy-to-install vehicle wraps. Durable and flexible water-based HP Latex Inks provide high adhesion and scratch resistance with a new HP Latex Overcoat, enabling easy lamination.
