Labelexpo – RTI Digital Ltd. Launches the New Memjet-Powered Vortex

RTI Digital Ltd., formerly OWN-X AG, the high-tech digital printer manufacturer, has announced the launch of its Vortex 851R label printer powered by Memjet, a global provider of high-speed color printing technologies. RTI Digital will premiere the Vortex 851R at Labelexpo Europe in Hall 5, Stand 5A15. The show runs from 24-27 September.

Printing up to 30 cm per second and priced under €7,000, the Vortex 851R is the fastest and most affordable inkjet printer of its kind. The Vortex 851R enables users to print labels on-demand, providing more flexibility and creativity while saving storage costs. The roll-fed digital machine offers full-color drop on-demand thermal inkjet printing through its 70,400 nozzles on the Memjet printhead. It can print full-color on various inkjet coated materials in seconds.

The Vortex 851R is the latest in RTI Digital’s line of Memjet-powered label printers. The compact printer comes equipped with only the necessary parts and functions, resulting in low levels of maintenance in a highly affordable configuration. Additionally, the Vortex 851R offers some of the most environmentally friendly inks making it one of the most energy efficient and cost effective inkjet label printers on the market.

“Our goal with creating the line of Vortex 851R label printers is to offer businesses of all sizes and printing needs access to Memjet’s breakthrough technology,” says Board Member, Jules Farkas of RTI Digital Ltd. “The Vortex 851R is designed for simplicity and cost-efficiency, allowing businesses that don't require an integrated PC system or online customer service access to the same powerful on-demand printing technology available through our Vortex 850R product, but at a more competitive price point.”

“We’re thrilled to debut the Vortex 851R printer at Labelexpo and announce our European launch of RTI Digital Ltd.,” says President RTI Digital Ltd. Erik Norman. “The new company combines global distribution reach, exceptional customer support, technology strength and deep experience to help our customers win more business. The Vortex 851R is just the start.”

RTI Digital is a pioneer in commercializing our technology and has seen incredible traction with its other Memjet-powered printers in the wide-format and labels markets, so we can only expect the same with the Vortex 851R as it makes its debut at Labelexpo,” says David Clark, President, Memjet Labels.
