Milan-based Pubblialba has completed the first Italian installation of the VR6D – HS industrial UV flatbed printer from Vanguard Europe. The system, already in operation at Pubblialba’s production facilities, is part of a development project of the company that aims at digitizing production to respond to a dynamic industrial market that requires more and more flexibility, quality and speed. 

“Demands that have led us to invest in the latest generation of digital technologies and complementary machinery for processing plastics that allow increasingly efficient management of production processes in order to respond promptly to market demands,” said Francesco Pileci, director of Pubblialba, commenting on the investment in the Vanguard system.

A few weeks after signing the agreement with Vanguard Europe at Viscom Italia, Pubblialba has already started digital production with the Vanguard VR6D – HS flatbed system, which combines the latest Ricoh Gen 6 printhead technology with high-speed magnetic drive. Key features of the flatbed include eco-friendly LED curing technology, Industry 4.0 compliance, Durst Workflow and Analytics software, ionization bars for eliminating electrostatic charges, 4 suction zones, 5-10-15 picoliter drop size and a print area of up to 1.27m x 2.54m.

Alberto Bassanello, Durst’s Sales Director Italy, commented, “Our participation at Viscom 2022 offered us the opportunity to talk to our customers and many new prospects who want to start or further implement the process of digitizing production. Sharing a passion for cutting-edge technology, we worked synergistically with the Pubblialba team from the consultancy stages to the installation of the Vanguard UV flatbed digital production system.

Within Pubblialba, screen-printing and digital technologies, pre-press departments and CNC machines coexist, working synergistically to enable the company to produce products with high quality levels. Founded in 1969 and originally dedicated to screen printing and installation of large format posters on buses, trams and airport hubs, over the years Pubblialba has specialized in complex applications for indoor and outdoor industrial equipment. 

Founded in 2021, Vanguard Europe is the European subsidiary of Vanguard Digital Printing Systems Corporation, based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA. The company recently inaugurated its new European subsidiary inside the Durst Kraftwerk, adjacent to Durst’s headquarters in Brixen. Building on its consolidated global know-how, Vanguard Europe aims to become a leader in the entry and mid-level markets of flatbed and UV digital printing systems for sectors such as signage, decoration, corporate, industrial and packaging, replicating the sales success of its American parent company.

In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.

India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
