R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. (RRD) announced it has expanded its digital printing capabilities with the installation of the EFI Nozomi C18000 Plus single-pass digital inkjet printer. Located at RRD’s packaging facility that specializes in signage and displays near Milwaukee, the single-pass digital press aims to be operational by the fall of 2023. The press reportedly enables RRD to reduce time-to-market by 25%, maximize color and design options, and prioritize sustainability on large-format runs of a variety of different sized substrates while delivering consistent print quality. 

The Nozomi C18000 Plus press will drive high-volume production at speeds three to five times faster than scanning super wide-format printers. This press also expedites new job setup, prints up to six colors, and runs continuously without having to pause printing to reload.
