The Ultimate HYBRID – Together with Domino
Under the theme “We are hybrid”, Grafotronic is proud to join forces with Domino Printing Sciences for a collaborative showcase that redefines hybrid label production.
This fully integrated solution combines Domino’s N730i Integration Module with Grafotronic’s DCL2 converting and finishing stations, uniting digital printing with high-performance finishing in one streamlined process.
Visitors to the Domino–Grafotronic Hybrid Arena (Booth 3G85) will experience the complete process live – from substrate preparation through to printed and fully finished label rolls – all in a single pass.
This collaboration is a testament to the power of innovation and partnership – delivering unmatched flexibility, speed, efficiency, and print quality to label converters.
What is Grafotronic IQ?
Grafotronic IQ is a workflow automation system that enables the DCL modular finishing line to perform job changes autonomously, handling all job settings automatically. During production it constantly monitors and adjusts register if required. It is your Virtual Operator.
How does it work?
IQ sets and keeps the modules it is installed on in perfect register, using a pre-printed mark and cross – with no external input required. Automation is handled at job level.
We call this INSTANT AUTOMATION.
Who is it for?
For every label producer who wants – or needs – faster setup times, less waste during setup, consistent workflows, and automatic register quality assurance throughout the production run.
IQ is a part of Grafotronic COLLAB Workflow
Grafotronic COLLAB unifies and automates the full workflow of label producers, creating a seamless and highly efficient production environment.
• From JDF/JMF to REST API – COLLAB offers it all.
• The COLLAB REST API streamlines machine integration with real-time control.
• Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, the API allows efficient data exchange and machine control through HTTP-based interactions and live WebSocket notifications.
The revolutionary X-1 die-cutting speed will be officially revealed on the morning of Labelexpo’s opening.
