Comec Italia becomes the official distributor of digital printing machines made by EPS, a Xaar Group company

In Munich, during the InPrint exhibition, Comec Italia signed an international agreement with Engineered Printing Solutions, (EPS), a Xaar group company: Comec Italia becomes European distributor for its full range of digital print products.

The new agreement will take full advantage of the existing relationship between EPS and COMEC, as EPS has been a distributor of COMEC pad print machinery in the US since 1985, and builds on COMEC’s strong position in product printing in Europe.

The agreement, which was signed by Edgardo Baggini, MD of COMEC, and Julian Joffe, President of EPS, includes the new cylindrical object printer from EPS which had its European launch at InPrint 2017. This is a multi-colour, UV-LED, high-resolution system offering state-of-the-art digital printing technology including Xaar 1003 printheads.

This new printer from EPS is designed specifically for decorating cylindrical objects in vertical mode – including those that are flat walled or tapered – and is therefore the ideal printer for companies producing promotional products or cosmetics, craft brewers, wineries and also other industries looking to offer their customers a short run option at high production rates of an average of 800 parts per hour (pph).

“We are delighted to announce that COMEC has become our distributor across Europe,” says Julian Joffe. “As a major player in the print machinery sector, they will be able to pass on the many advantages available through EPS product printing expertise, and provide a great return on investment for manufacturers in search of a direct-to-product printing system.
