Durham Box boosts Nozomi offer with white ink

Durham Box has added the white UV LED ink option to its EFI Nozomi corrugated printer as the business expands its offering into new markets including e-commerce.

The  St Helen Auckland, County Durham firm installed the Nozomi C18000 single-pass inkjet last year, having announced the purchase at Fespa in Munich. It has now become the first UK user with the white ink option.
The white ink capability was installed four weeks ago. It allows Durham Box to match a broader range of brand and Pantone colours on brown kraft corrugated board, as well as produce higher-quality halftone images on that type of material.
The firm has also recruited highly-experienced industry professional Andy Smith as its new PoS business development director.
Smith, whose career includes senior roles at DS Smith, Cestrian, APS Group and Service Point, joined in June and has been laying the groundwork for the new offering during lockdown.
