Dantex Group has collaborated with ink and coating specialist ACTEGA to integrate
ECOLEAF technology into its PicoJet series of digital UV inkjet presses. This integration
showcases Dantex's dedication to innovation and sustainability within the digital inkjet label
sector by offering ECOLEAF as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional hot and cold
foiling methods.
The partnership between Dantex and ACTEGA is fueled by a mutual drive to introduce
value-enhancing solutions to the digital inkjet label industry. By incorporating the eco-friendly
technology of ECOLEAF, Dantex aims to further enhance its print systems, elevating the
printing experience and expanding the array of stunning effects achievable with PicoJet.
ECOLEAF, designed for various markets, is a digital solution enabling metallization
embellishments onto self-adhesive labels. Unlike traditional foiling methods that generate
significant foil waste (around 80-90%), ECOLEAF minimizes waste by utilizing a glue trigger
layer shaped like the desired image. This innovative process involves jetting aluminum
particles, which adhere to the glue layer, creating a metallic image. This approach not only
eliminates waste but also enables the creation of multiple metallic colors, offering a more
sustainable and versatile option for label embellishments.
Ben Danon, CEO of Dantex Group said, “We are excited to introduce this eco-friendly
technology to our PicoJet range of digital UV inkjet presses, and we believe that this
partnership will help us to achieve our sustainability goals while providing our customers with
highly innovative and visually impactful solutions. Both parties strongly emphasize the
environmental and sustainability benefits of this collaboration.”
Incorporating ECOLEAF into the existing PicoJet range, Dantex offers a comprehensive
suite of features. This includes the integration of the new DRS (Digital Resolution System)
and printhead technology driven by Ricoh, augmenting printing capabilities. Moreover, userfriendly
software like PicoCenta and PicoPilot, featuring intuitive touchscreen interfaces,
further enhances the operational ease and accessibility of the PicoJet printers. This
amalgamation of advancements ensures a holistic and streamlined printing experience
within the PicoJet series.
