The word digital tends to be used to describe both Indigo and laser printers. However, digital is in essence the way the information is presented to the printer e.g. the transmission of artwork data electronically to the press. It can also be used to describe digital offset litho presses. For the purposes of this binder digital is u s e d t o m e a n b o t h I n d i g o a n d Laser/Copier printers. The most common sheet fed digital press manufacturers are: Hewlett Packard, Xerox, Kodak, Canon, Océ, Konica Minolta, Ricoh. Press names that may be mentioned are: Indigo (HP) igen3, Docucolor (Xerox) NexPress (Kodak) and various other machine model numbers. PCL3 Digital Labels are designed for use on SRA3 Digital (320 x 450mm) presses (e.g. Indigo, NexPress, igen, Docucolor e.t.c.) as well as conventional litho. The die cut label range has been approved by HP for their Indigo presses and Kodak for the NexPress. Successful trials have also been performed on the igen3 and Docucolor ranges. Trials are also underway with Konica Minolta, Canon and Océ. As the labels are designed for use with the big production presses, care must be taken when using them on smaller machines not primarily designed for SRA3 sheets. For example the Xerox Dc12 has a single offset feed wheel on the by pass tray feed that could cause the sheet to skew and pre dispense labels. Please check suitability for the particular machine to be used. PCL3 Digital Labels Format Sheet size 320 x 451mm 2 panels of A4 per sheet with additional lay and grip edges. Each corner of the A4 panel is marked with crop marks to aid guillotining back to finished size of A4 if required. All sheets have a dry edge on the long edges e.g. face material 319mm, backing 320mm. This ensures smooth feeding through all types of presses and no adhesive contamination on sheet edges. The majority of labels are based on 2 x PCL formats on an SRA3 sheet providing a standard, familiar, finished size. PCL (PCL format is: A4 sheet with13mm lay and grip edges and 2mm gutters between labels) All PCL3 Digital and PCL label formats can be downloaded as pdf files from our web site:

9 PCL3 -Page 11 HP Indigo HP Indigo presses use a totally different type of ink (toner) from other presses and the material surface requirements are very specific. Not all materials can be printed by Indigo method. Most materials require pretreatment with sapphire (or similar) coatings to ensure suitability. All PCL3 Digital materials are approved for Indigo printing without any further treatment. All materials have been independently tested and approved by the Digital Academy, in both flat sheet and die cut label form. To date this is the only range of die cut labels worldwide to carry approval. The approval number DA refers to the entire PCL3 Digital range and product information can be found on our web site at DA PASSED BY THE DIGITAL ACADEMY AS COMPATIBLE WITH HP INDIGO SERIES 3000 SHEET-FED PRESSES The Southern England Printing Technology Centre

10 PCL3 -Page 12 Kodak NexPress Tested and approved by Kodak for the NexPress, PCL3 Digital labels and sheets in all materials (papers and polyesters) can be used. The NexPress is a hot fusing toner, production digital press. It has very specific quality requirements of base materials, particularly self adhesive labels and sheets. Self adhesive sheets are fed from the main feed trays face down and are turned over at the end of the machine prior to printing. As the majority of self adhesive sheets are designed to be flat but with any curl bias towards the backing, particular care must be taken. In order to reduce the effects of the heat from the machine drying the laminate and causing curl towards the backing; sheets should not be loaded into the feed tray until ready to print. All PCL3 Digital sheets and labels are polythene bagged and boxed to ensure optimum moisture conditions are maintained. When removing the required number of sheets from the packaging ensure that any remaining unused are re-bagged, and boxed immediately. Discard any sheets showing severe curl towards the backing paper as they could cause mis-feeds.
