AstroNova Launches the World’s First On-Demand Narrow Format Digital Press

AstroNova, a global leader in data visualization technologies, introduced the TrojanLabel^® T2-L, the world’s first narrow web digital flexible packaging press. Customers will have the opportunity to see and test the new T2-L for the first time next week at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Labelexpo Europe 2019.

Designed to accommodate both short-run and high-volume digital printing, the T2-L is the ideal flexible package printing solution for brand owners, manufacturers and commercial printers to efficiently scale and grow their businesses. Using Natura™ inks, which are formulated with nearly 70% water, the T2-L delivers superior print quality onto flexible packaging using inks that are safer for food labels, creating significant savings for customers over the lifetime of the printer.

To support the rapidly growing digital print for packaging business, AstroNova has partnered with Sihl, a global leader for digital print substrates. In addition to offering Sihl’s environmentally friendly ARTYSIO brand packaging product portfolio for the T2-L, AstroNova is partnering with Sihl to develop a range of new flexible packaging materials. Independent auditing firm Intersoh recently awarded the highest rating for recyclability to Sihl’s ARTYSIO materials, which include metalized ultra-high barrier and pure polypropylene versions.
