Graphispag, the leading trade show for the graphic communication industry in Spain, in collaboration with AG Asociación Graph, Pack & Retail, brought together 350 brands specializing in graphic technology, software, supports, and materials.
This year’s edition took place in Hall 2 of Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via Venue exhibition center. The entire hall was dedicated to the presentation of new equipment and applications, where printing industry exhibitors from 12 different countries offered their best products and services.

More than 180 exhibitors showcased all the innovations and best solutions of personalization industry, graphic industry and technologies on 8000 sq. m. exhibition area. In Graphispag 2017, 300 brands and companies were represented and artisJet made no exception.
During the four days at the fair, artisJet was represented by its Spanish distributors, Abitec Technology and Bomedia who showcased two of artis LED UV product line: artis 2100U and the well-known artis 3000U A3+ platform.

From phone case printing on various case substrates (plastic, acrylic, transparent, opaque etc.) to larger media substrates, artisJet displayed a wide variety of digital LED UV printing possibilities. But the visitors were really impressed by the LED UV printing capabilities on lenticular sheets.

What is a lenticular sheet? A lenticular sheet is a translucent plastic sheet with a set of small convex lenses on one side and a flat surface on the other side. It is the magic of these small convex lenses that have the ability to transform a 2D image into a visual illusion. Viewers can see lenticular special effects when the orientation of a lenticular sheet is changed.
There are different types of lenticular sheets and some parameters (material, the density of lenses, transparency etc.) you need to follow in order to decide what type of lenticular sheet you should use when printing with LED UV printers, but this topic will be developed at another time, for a better understanding.

As for DTG printing, artis 3000T digital platform demonstrated capabilities in terms of direct printing on both white and dark substrates with the same amazing color output. The printing process on dark substrates is facilitated by the white ink channels which ensure vivid and bright colors printing results not only on T-shirts but on any dark textiles. Those who have shown interest in DTG printing took a closer look to the prints and convinced themselves that the prints are durable and the instant drying inks provide non-cracking finishes.

At Graphispag 2017, the artisJet team was excited to see that besides customers that already have their businesses running, most of the stand visitors were newcomers looking for full printing solutions to develop start-up businesses.

What is DTG printing? Direct to garment printing or DTG printing is a process of printing on textiles or garments using specialized technology.

What is digital printing? Digital printing on garments is a much newer process than the traditional screen printing. Digital direct to garment printing allows you to import your artwork and designs to specialized computer software, adjust as you prefer and then direct print on the surface of your product.

A primary advantage of DTG printing is the lack of set-up costs and instant turnaround time not associated with traditional garment printing such as screen printing. The screen printing process it’s made by heat transfer, while DTG digital printing will be directly on the fabric, as the ink is directly adhered to the material, translating into long lasting and non-cracking printing results.

How to take the personalization printing to the next level.
The solution is to bring to the light the uniqueness of variable data printing. Through variable data printing, you can engage more customers into more personalization printing solutions of your business.

How’s that? The overview of Variable Data Printing is that a printer uses technology to drive the printing process. Together with a software specialized not only in VDP but for multiple printing on demand jobs, such as artisRIP V.9.1, a printed item can contain variable information without limiting the content and even graphics. This is what makes digital VDP a truly economical solution for your business.

At the same time, VDP ensures individualized production pieces at a high quality automated workflow. Variable Data Printing is a solution that sells itself, solely by the increased ROI in the market place, adding true value and engaging customers in a variety of industries.

What is artisJet VDP (Variable Data Printing) solution?
A solution empowered by artisJet printers and artisRIP V.9.1 software allowing a continuous production for variable data printing onto all the substrates in bigger quantity on demand.

In terms of production, it is about a direct printing technology on any materials including on demand printing, in which elements such as text, graphics, barcodes and images may be changed from one printed piece to the next, without stopping or slowing down the printing process and using information from a database of external file.

DELIVERING PERSONALIZED VARIABLE DATA ON ALL SUBSTRATES VIA DIGITAL DIRECT PRINTING

Unique features of artisJet VDP printing.
First of all, Variable Data Printing applications can help you expand and add benefits to your business by developing new market products. This is an effective way to attract more customers, a solution that is directly proportional with an increased investment level and a minimum effort for an overall productivity workflow.
Moreover, Variable Data Printing can be used for all products, covering a wide range of materials and products for you to print directly at a fast yet quantity production.

With professionalism in mind, artisJet aims to offer comprehensive VDP printing solution with the capability of total ease of access and functionality. This translates into providing not only printing platforms, but software solutions as well in order to operate the printing applications, with a minimized learning process as a benefit.

To support this idea, artisJet VDP production is empowered by artisRIP V.9.1 software.

How artisJet direct to substrates printers work with the VDP?
Benefiting from the unique feature of direct printing on any substrates with embossed and glossy results in sharp color detailing, artisJet printers have been widely used for products with high additional value in the personalization industry.

Which are the steps we need to follow in order to realize the VDP direct printing?

Let’s take the variable data card printing as an example.

When we print the cards in the same background layout, but with different contents (e.g. business cards, credit cards), the data of the card such as names, photos or coding are different. If you want to complete the output printing of cards with different data by one pass instead of importing it every single time, we need to use the artisJet V.9.1 variable data printing software. This can be done in few simple steps.

A first step is creating an Excel file which will contain all the information required for the VDP cards.

Secondly, benefiting from the artisJet Software, a card template must be created. The card template is determined by each customer’s requirements in terms of size, contents, graphics and design. As for the style layout, the customer could design his own VDP card using the various tools in the artisJet V.9.1 software.

After the template was finished, the next step is to correlate the design with the variable data from the Excel file, software setups and proceed to the printing and other settings.

For detailed printing steps and software setups regarding Variable Data Printing, check artisJet’s VDP card printing solution on tutorial page.

With artisJet VDP printing you can get an attractive solution suitable for direct marketing and branding and a personalized option as well, which is coherent with your customer’s interests, increasing the responsiveness towards the business.
