The machine, which is being marketed in two formats – either as a standalone Sprint model or as a fully integrated Pro label printing and finishing system – is now available in the UK and EMEA.

The CDT-1600 can print pre-die-cut labels, tags and other applications at 1,600x1,200dpi and a maximum output speed of 48m/min.

Powered by Memjet’s waterfall printhead technology, both machines feature five printheads that can print full-colour in a CMYK plus spot standard configuration.

Delphax general manager of European operations for EMEA Steve Hubbard, said the CDT-1600 was already attracting significant interest from both existing and potential new customers.

"We’re seeing a high level of interest in the system as it offers productivity and quality coupled with a price point that is competitive in the digital label market," he added.

The Colordyne CDT-1600 PC Sprint is available for £187,000 while the CDT-1600 PC Pro, which is configured with inline finishing options, such as laminating, and three die-cutting stations retails for £312,000.
