01732 759725 22 WHAT'S NEW Breakthrough inkjet printer HID’s latest printer innovation is the first to offer inkjet technology to the global desktop card printer market, enabling cost-effective, high quality credentials and eliminating the need for specialised card media. HID FARGO INK1000 eliminates the print ribbons and specialised card media required by alternative direct-to-card desktop solutions that use dye sublimation technology. The easy-to-install snap-in cartridges deliver the simplicity and reliability of inkjet printers and contain specially formulated inks for creating fade- resistant images and text that adhere to standard, off-the-shelf PVC cards. A single ink cartridge has the potential to produce hundreds more cards than printers that use ribbons and create less waste while significantly improving total cost of ownership. www.hidglobal.com Focus On: What’s New One-stop solution Jabra and HP have introduced an end-customer bundle offering video and audio solutions for meeting room needs in the new normal.

Developed with Konica Minolta’s manufacturing partner in Europe, Danish company Grafisk Maskinfabrik A/S (GM), the Flexo Printing Unit can be retrofitted to the Konica Minolta original AccurioLabel 190 or AccurioLabel 230 toner label presses. Following successful trials, a new Flexo Printing Unit is now also commercially available. It will target label converters who are looking for a complete hybrid solution to complement high-end digital printing systems. The AccurioLabel Flexo Printing Unit uses standard flexo inks. In combination with the already available overprint sensor kit, it provides perfectly registered inline overprinting of white or any other colour, which will open doors to a wider range of print applications such as printing on clear substrates. www.konicaminolta.co.uk HID FARGO INK 1000
