The company relied on outside artisans for artwork painting and gold foiling, but the aging workforce and shortage of successors raised concerns about its future production capabilities. Screen printing also required cumbersome management of printing screens and placed limitations on fine details and size variations.
With the UJF-7151 plusII, Sakura Seisakujo digitized decorative printing, expanded its in-house design and size options, and established a digital foiling process for gold decoration. This reduced reliance on artisans while maintaining quality and enabling the company to explore new forms of product expression.
Company seeking for new avenues of business development as a "printing company doing more than just paper work."
NAKAGAWA KAMISO INC. newly introduced the UV printer "UJF-7151 plusII," capable of printing high definition granularity-free images on diverse materials. The company is in active pursuit of new scenes of activity in the field of art panels and magnets in addition to the conventional package design business.
