Best of Both Worlds FAIRFIELD, OH | Hi-Tech Printing, a converter providing variable print on labels, tags, and cards, is doing all of that better, faster, and more efficiently since acquiring a T700 VaryPress digital press from Nipson America. The high-speed press reportedly has more than doubled the company’s capacity with its print width of 18.5 in. But there’s much more, says Hi-Tech president Bob Dillingham. “Since we started running the Nipson machine, we’ve had much higher consistency in our print from run to run and a much higher level of output quality. Our downtime is considerably less and our costs for consumables and parts are greatly reduced. Most importantly, our output quality is higher, and we’re able to accomplish more in less time. That translates to more and more satisfied customers, which is what it’s really all about for us.” The press also is able to image 2D bar codes, which Hi-Tech could not do previously. The press is installed in-line with a six-color Aquaflex 1650 press, and the configuration, says Hi-Tech, gives it the flexibility of digital variable printing together with the broad capability of a traditional printing press for a best-ofboth-worlds solution. uNipson America | www.us.nipson.com PFFC-ASAP 308 RK Label Company Now a Reseller GARDEN GROVE, CA | All Barcode Systems, a label manufacturer and automated data collection equipment distributor, has been accepted as a Value Added Reseller for Niceware, manufacturer of NiceLabel label printing solutions. “We are excited to be able to bring this premier label printing software to our customers,” says Scott Steiner, president of All Barcode Systems. “NiceLabel has a full suite of products to address all label printing areas and works with all thermal printers yet will also print to most laser and inkjet printers.” RFID Agreement Expanded MORGAN HILL, CA | Alien Technology has entered into an expanded RFID reseller and system integration agreement with Sato America, Charlotte, NC.
