“The choice to work with Fujifilm has always been driven by their solid reputation and the trust they instil in our customers,” said Colin. “Their systems have consistently delivered us exceptional performance and reliability, which is crucial for our operations.

“The LuXtreme LED curing system has proven to be a game changer. The installation was handled with ease and the system is remarkably efficient. The operators appreciate the simplicity of the controls, and the LED response time is perfect. As soon as we’re ready to print, we can dry our inks almost instantaneously, with no delays.”

One of the primary motivations for transitioning to LED technology was the significant energy savings. “Through rigorous testing, we demonstrated a remarkable 63% reduction in power consumption compared to traditional UV systems. With energy prices soaring, this shift not only makes financial sense but also aligns with our continued commitment to sustainability,” Colin explained.

“The transition has not only allowed us to maintain energy costs comparable to a decade ago, despite tripling production, but it also enhances operational efficiency. The longevity and low maintenance needs of LED systems are expected to reduce costs and downtime significantly, moving away from the costly and time-consuming routine of annual lamp changes. Looking ahead, we are excited about the future and confident that Fujifilm will play a pivotal role in our journey,” concluded Colin.

Ian Isherwood, Segment Manager, EMEA comments: “This investment highlights our continued partnership with Aztec Label and reflects their ongoing commitment to sustainability as well as ours to innovative technology. It has been a real pleasure seeing their business evolve over the years with the support of our solutions. We look forward to seeing how yet another Fujifilm offering will further contribute to their growth.”
