Vikram Saxena of Xeikon during his presentation tried to clear some of the myths related to digital technology and its adoption in the Indian label manufacture. He said that many label convertors think that if they shift to digital engineering, they will need to make a lot of changes in their setup. "This is non true at all," he said. Saxena stated that some other misconception among label printers is that conventional presses offer wider printing options as compared to digital presses. Flexo presses may be able to handle wider range of substrates, simply for near label convertors this may not exist relevant, he added. Also, digital presses offer features similar variable data press, which is not possible on flexo presses or even if bachelor it is not cost effective. "Digital is not a substitute but complementary to a conventional set-up," Saxena said. Some other myths most digital printing that Saxena attempted to address were nearly the quality of the digital press and costs involved.
