Indiana-Based Printing Company Combines 33 Years of Experience to Launch Printshop Touting SurePress Printing Technology

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Epson today announced Husky Labels in Indiana has installed the SurePress® L-6534VW UV digital label press. After decades of experience in the label printing industry, co-owner Glenn DeRossett, decided to start his own printing business. While still in the initial start-up phase, he quickly inherited customers from a closing business and needed to expand output capabilities. To meet the incoming customer needs, Husky Labels installed the SurePress L-6534VW, expanding media compatibility, output versatility and workflow productivity.

Husky Labels installs Epson SurePress L-6534VW to expand output capabilities and maximize productivity.

Husky Labels initially utilized two Epson SurePress L-4033 presses. However, after DeRossett was entrusted with new clients, he started looking for a larger press to accommodate the incoming requests. “I really wanted a UV press,” said DeRossett. “I have a UV flexographic printer, and I wanted to leverage that technology with a streamlined, efficient workflow for our label printers as well.”

Stemming from his previous experience with Epson, DeRossett purchased the SurePress L-6534VW with Orange Ink and has been thrilled with the immediate results. “We replaced an older model with the SurePress L-6534VW and now handle most incoming orders with it. The high speed and output quality are exactly what we wanted.”

Husky Labels currently prints nearly 3 million labels per month on the SurePress L-6534VW for customers spanning a variety of industries including alcoholic, food and beverage, cosmetic, health, and more.  The SurePress L-6534VW has allowed Husky Labels to offer a wide range of output materials and embellishments to clients, including clear films, metallic foil and more. When asked to produce window labels with clear film media, DeRossett consistently relies on the SurePress. “The SurePress is unique in printing these labels as it reverses the web for each pass, allowing for six or more passes without removing the raw material from the press. This results in a clean label and great registration with a vibrant, standout print,” he said.

Accurate color reproduction is essential for both customer satisfaction and brand integrity. “For all labels, especially prime labels, getting the colors right is crucial since the brand image is what sells the product,” emphasized DeRossett. “Epson does a fantastic job with the color. The colors blend beautifully, and with the addition of Orange Ink on the SurePress L-6534VW, I can reproduce a much higher percentage of Pantone colors – color reproduction is far easier and more precise.”

Workflow Benefits with SurePress L-6534VW
The SurePress L-6534VW offers several additional features that streamline Husky Label’s workflow and increase output capabilities. Unlike previous solutions, SurePress prints in a continuous stream, without Frame gaps. Furthermore, the variable data capabilities on SurePress have expanded solutions and allowed DeRossett to take on larger clients with variable data needs.

“The continuous stream printing on the SurePress has improved our die cutting and results in a higher quality label,” said DeRossett. “And SurePress handles variable data exceptionally well, allowing us to easily customize labels with unique information for each product, which enhances our efficiency and flexibility in meeting diverse client needs.”

The SurePress L-6534VW comes equipped with Wasatch RIP software. Husky Labels has leveraged the software, with the help of the Wasatch team, to implement a productive print workflow to support the rapidly growing business. “Wasatch has helped us optimize our printing settings. With Epson and Wasatch, we were able to get up and running easily.”

“Choosing and integrating the right technology is crucial for new businesses, it’s encouraging to see how Husky Labels has already benefitted from the installation of the SurePress L-6534VW,” said Mike Pruitt, product manager, Epson America. “With the capacity and versatility of the SurePress L-6534VW, Husky Labels is equipped to grow their business and deliver exceptional results.”

“The SurePress has significantly expanded our capabilities as a new business,” said DeRossett. “It allows us to grow and take on more local business opportunities, providing a quick turnaround with high-quality labels that our customers love.”

The SurePress L-6534VW is available with Digital Varnish for a unique look and tactile feel or Orange Ink for a wider color gamut. The PrecisionCore® printheads, inks, LED pinning technology and curing lamp units, media feeding, and control system are all developed, serviced and manufactured by Epson. Driving the SurePress L-6534VW is the included Wasatch RIP, a fully customizable solution designed to streamline orders, minimize production errors, help increase productivity, and run print production effectively.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2025, MLVision has officially launched its groundbreaking MLVision M5, setting a new global standard for wearable technology. Weighing a mere 25.8 grams, the MLVision M5 is the world’s lightest AI-powered AR glasses. The device combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence, precision engineering, and a commitment to privacy and accessibility.

“MLVision M5 is more than just a wearable device; it represents a significant breakthrough in both weight and product design,” said CEO Zhaoen Dai. “Our goal is to create smart AR glasses that feel effortless to wear, leveraging cutting-edge AR display technology and advanced AI models to genuinely help users work and live more efficiently and conveniently.”

Crafted with aviation-grade titanium and ultra-lightweight floating plastic, this device achieves an unprecedented balance between durability and comfort.

The ergonomic design caters to users’ needs, making it a perfect companion for both work and leisure.

This device introduces an industry-first modular design, setting a new benchmark for adaptability in AR glasses. This innovation allows users to seamlessly transition between an all-in-one configuration and a clip-on style, accommodating diverse preferences and use cases. For nearsighted users, the M5 eliminates the need for custom prescription lenses—a common limitation in traditional AR glasses. Instead, it can be conveniently clipped onto existing prescription glasses, offering unmatched practicality and cost savings. This thoughtful modularity not only enhances accessibility but also positions the MLVision M5 as a versatile solution for a broad spectrum of users.

One of MLVision M5’s standout features is its immersive visual projection system, which offers an 86-inch private virtual screen. Powered by MLVision’s proprietary Hummingbird Micro-LED light engine and advanced nano-scale diffraction waveguide technology, the glasses create a secure and private viewing experience, ideal for reading confidential documents or browsing personal files. To prioritize eye health, the device utilizes soft green light with a projection distance of 4 meters, reducing strain during extended use.

The MLVision M5 is also equipped with the AIOS platform, delivering unparalleled AI-driven capabilities to enhance user productivity and accessibility. With intelligent tools like document summarization, real-time translation in seven languages, and interactive AI chat for setting reminders and brainstorming ideas, the device seamlessly integrates into the modern workflow. Additionally, its innovative Care Mode provides real-time audio transcription, enabling a more inclusive experience for users with hearing impairments.

The MLVision M5 excels as a navigation powerhouse, offering intuitive, real-time directions to guide users seamlessly through various environments. Whether exploring a new city, finding the fastest route to your destination, or navigating while riding a bike, the M5 ensures you always stay on the right path with ease and confidence.

The MLVision M5 will launch in China at the end of January 2025. Pricing and pre-order details will be announced in the coming weeks.
