iSys appoints Indian distributor for its label machine at Labelexpo Europe

Nishant Shah, CEO and managing director, Caterpillar Signs said, “We have had a long standing relationship with iSys. We are glad the iSys chose us as a preferred partner. We are currently working on launching the machine with a slightly discounted price-point in India. However, the final decision on the same is pending.”

The company at its stand highlighted two products for the label printing market: Apex 1290, a standalone short to mid run digital printer, and its new desktop digital label solution, Edge 850. The company claims that the machine is suitable for all sorts of application whether it be customer water bottle labels or stickers for a special event. In addition, the company also showcased its label software Edge2Print and Apex2Print. The software is based on Harlequin RIP software package developed for iSys label printers.

Apex 1290 has a print speed of up to 30fr/min and uses a single pass four colour LED (CMYK) halftone head. The machine has a minimum media width of 3in and has a maximum media width of 12.9in. iSys claims that the machine can handle die-cut, kiss cut, non-die-cut and tag stock labels. The machine has an input role feeder system with a maximum diameter of 12in.

“India is a very attractive market for iSys due to low equipment and consumable cost, wide range of substrate library and simple operation. Apex 1290 is a perfect fit for mid to high volume existing label printers and Edge 850 for companies that wants to enter in to the label market. We have lot of buying interest from companies in India at the show and feedback from them is very encouraging. Over the next few weeks we will be working very closely with our distributor Caterpillar Signs to provide printers and consumables at attractive prices and developing an excellent local technical support,” Randy Ricket, director, iSys Labels.
