What’s next for digital label printing? According to INX VP of Digital Division Paul Edwards, steady growth — and smarter integration.

In the June issue of Packaging Strategies, Paul shares his perspective on the continued evolution of digital label printing, where shorter runs, customization, sustainability, and hybrid production continue to reshape how brands approach print.

Beverage cans. Food containers. Aerosol packaging. Monobloc closures. Each format runs differently. Each demands something specific from the ink.
INX builds for all of them.

AP Series for high-speed two-piece can lines where there is no margin for inconsistency. TP Series for three-piece containers facing forming, seaming, and handling stress. MDO and MDO+ for monobloc applications demanding fast cure and durable adhesion. EcoCan where Cradle to Cradle certification is part of the brief.

One supplier. Full-format coverage. No trade-offs between speed, quality, and sustainability.

Reliable Industrial Inkjet Starts With Fluid Control

Inkjet reliability does not begin at the printhead. It begins with the system managing the ink before it ever gets there.

JetINX ink delivery systems manage recirculation, heating, and pressure across multi-printhead arrays. Precise fluid control maintains stable droplet formation even in high-speed production systems. That engineering foundation is what allows integrators to build and deploy advanced industrial inkjet with confidence in the output.

Reliable printing requires reliable fluid management. JetINX is built for that from the ground up.

: Printed cans not matching your line standard? Before you chase the color, check the cause.

Common culprits:
✔ Wrong ink code pulled for the job
✔ Ink film thickness off ✔ Roll and head pressures out of alignment
✔ Contaminated inker from poor wash-up
✔ Substrate mismatch: frosty vs. bright
✔ Different plates without updated line standards

Fix it:
✔ Confirm ink code matches the schedule sheet
✔ Adjust ink flow and reset pressures ✔ Clean the inker thoroughly
✔ Run light-to-dark color sequence
✔ Tone on press and update color standards
✔ Establish new line standards when plates change

Color that does not match is a process problem. Most of the time it is fixable before the run goes further.

Industrial Digital Printing Demands Inks Built for the Long Run

Production environments do not run on promises. They run on materials that behave predictably across extended production cycles without introducing variability when the volume is highest.

INXJet Premium Digital Inks are engineered for exactly that. Stable jetting behavior. Consistent curing. Reliable output across demanding industrial digital printing platforms. Converters operating high-volume digital lines get the performance consistency the job demands.

Industrial digital printing works when the ink system works. INXJet is built for both.

Metal decorating does not forgive variability. Press speeds are high. Cure windows are tight. Every can that leaves the line is a brand promise that has to hold through filling, shipping, and a shelf.

INX metal decorating inks are engineered for exactly that environment. Stable transfer. Controlled curing. Durable film performance across two-piece, three-piece, and monobloc applications.

They run INX because it runs reliably when the line is full and the pressure is on.

Global converters are under growing pressure to support recyclable packaging without sacrificing production reliability. As PPWR reshapes packaging requirements and US packaging regulations continue to evolve, change is becoming part of the production environment.

Innova Plus NCF works within the lamination system you already know. The print quality and bond performance you expect remain. What changes is the chemistry: no nitrocellulose.

The best transition is the one that does not disrupt production.

06/08/2026

On World Oceans Day, one thing is clear: materials designed to stay in the circular economy are less likely to become waste.

Packaging recovery starts with the decisions made during package design, including the ink technologies used to support material recovery.

INX develops technologies designed to support recyclable packaging systems, including Genesis™ washable and floatable ink technologies. Washable inks are engineered to deink cleanly during recycling, while floatable systems support label separation processes designed to help protect recycled material quality.

Sustainability performs best when it is built into packaging from the start.
