Press release submitted on behalf of Harris & Bruno International.
Harris & Bruno International (H&B), Dusseldorf, Germany, a global leader in high-performance coating, printing and digital embellishment equipment, is delighted to announce its exceptional success at Drupa 2024, the world’s premier trade fair for printing technologies.
Key Highlights of Drupa 2024 for Harris & Bruno International:
A Successful Jump Into Digital Embellishments Unveiling of the ZRX Harris & Bruno proudly introduced the groundbreaking and innovative ZRX Digital Embellishment press, showcasing flood coating, digital spot coating, tactile raised coatings, and foiling, all in one single pass. The award winning product garnered significant attention for its advanced capabilities in digital embellishment, offering unparalleled quality and efficiency for a wide range of printing applications. Its unique ability to digitally embellish uncoated media safely, without the need for lamination, and the ability to create raised matte tactile effect is a game changer for the digital embellishment world.
Several ZRW Coaters for High-Speed Digital Inkjet Web Sold The ZRW web coater was another highlight at Drupa 2024. At the HP and Kodak booths the ZRW impressed attendees with its high-speed performance and quality coating output. Several printers that came to the show looking for a digital web press also ended up purchasing a ZRW to pair with it, two of which were in Europe. This coater’s capability to seamlessly enhance and protect digital web printing inline with superior coating solutions was a standout feature of the show.
H&B Equipmentment Showcased Across Drupa While the main events of Harris & Bruno were the ZRX and the ZRW, their cutting-edge equipment could be found in action in halls across the entire show. Over at Landa, the coating tower featuring H&B’s chamber-anilox system applied a glass-smooth gloss over Landa’s vibrant nano-ink, demonstrating superior finish quality. In the packaging sector, Fuji showcased H&B’s chamber and circular system on their packaging press, highlighting how the coating protected the ink and enhanced the final product’s visual appeal. Additionally, other industry leaders such as Koenig & Bauer, RMGT, and Komori featured the reliable H&B coating tower on their offset presses, further demonstrating H&B’s reputation for excellence in the printing industry.
First ZRX Customers will be in the Gaming and Packaging Industries The exceptional performance and innovative features of the ZRX led to immediate commercial success, with two units sold to prominent customers in the gaming and packaging industries. This milestone underscores the machine’s versatility and appeal across diverse market segments. The customers have both asked to stay anonymous at this time, but more information will be released on them in the near future.
