Dion Label Printing recently installed a new HP Indigo 8000 digital printing press. The addition of this model to our two HP Indigo WS6800 digital presses enables increased productivity with faster print speeds making high-quality digital output affordable for much longer print jobs. This is the latest of several acquisitions Dion has made to provide customers with the latest label printing solutions.

The HP Indigo 8000 digital press is the most productive narrow-web label press in the industry. In Enhanced Productivity Mode (EPM), it offers increased output with speeds double those of the HP Indigo WS6800 series presses. Dion Label Printing’s new press can print on materials as thin as 0.0005” (0.5 pt) to as thick as 0.018” (18 pt) including pressure sensitive labels and flexible packaging.

The Color Automation Package of the new HP digital press guarantees standards-matching color accuracy and consistency. Built-in spectrophotometers and software tools take full advantage of advanced prepress capabilities, hardware and manual calibration processes. It is also equipped with a high-automation Workflow Suite powered by Esko. Dion can create color profiles and match PANTONE® colors in a simple, precise process with the new HP 8000 Press.

The addition of the HP Indigo 8000 will enable Dion Label Printing to provide shorter lead times for customers. By moving longer run jobs to the 8000 press we will be able to better disperse jobs of all lengths to our digital presses to maximize efficiency. The capabilities of this new press will also enable some jobs to move from our flexographic presses to digital presses saving prep time, stock and maximizing productivity. With its precise color-matching capabilities, this press can duplicate colors produced on flexographic presses.

Dion Label Printing acquired its first digital press, an HP Indigo WS4050, in 2005 and has been updating and increasing its digital capacities ever since. In 2015, two new HP Indigo WS6800 models replaced the older units, enabling increased output with faster speeds and expanding the capabilities to print on a larger variety of materials. With the addition of the HP Indigo 8000 press, Dion demonstrates its commitment to serving customers’ needs by investing in technology.

General Manager Randy Duhaime commented, “The new HP 8000 press is the continuation of our commitment to digital printing and HP. With this investment we are able to maintain the highest print quality and color consistency that our customers have come to expect.”

Dion Label Printing strives to elevate our customer’s brand through high-quality printed labels and packaging. With only seconds available to make a first impression, your label needs to make a lasting impact.  As a leader in the narrow web printing industry, we continuously deliver the highest quality service and product while pushing to innovate. Dion creates color profiles for a variety of media combinations to match PANTONE® colors with output consistency across its fleet of digital presses.

Parent Company Inovar Continues Growing: New Headquarters in Dallas, TX

by Gina Lisella • 21 Nov, 2023
As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
