Kento Digital Printing continues its expansion in the U.S. with the sale of a new Kento Hybrid Converter to ColorHub, located in Grand Rapids, MI.
“This installation reinforces the growing adoption of hybrid printing technology, which combines the efficiency of flexography with the precision of digital single-pass inkjet, plus the first inline rotary die-cutter in a digital printer, all under the same control software,” explains Javier Quesada, CEO, Kento Digital Printing.
ColorHub selected the ‘Converter’ configuration for its new Kento Hybrid, which includes two flexo units, a single-pass inkjet module, and the newly introduced 66″ inline rotary die-cutter. This advanced setup will enable ColorHub to optimize corrugated box production, reduce costs, and increase design flexibility, ultimately delivering superior-quality packaging to its current and new customers.
With the inclusion of two flexo units, ColorHub can efficiently handle large solid backgrounds and special colors, saving up to 80% in digital ink costs, while the single-pass inkjet module ensures high-resolution printing and customization capabilities. On top of that, the 66” inline rotary die-cutter further enhances production efficiency by enabling printing and cutting in a single pass.
