L&NW: What is the N610i-R, and why is it a game-changer? 

MB: Domino N610i-R is a compact digital retrofit module that mounts directly onto an existing flexographic press, providing a versatile 3-in-1 solution for hybrid printing, digital-only printing, or flexo-only printing. So, it allows converters to transform their analog equipment into a hybrid printing solution, adding the speed, versatility, and customization of digital without replacing their current setup — or without requiring more floor space. This gives converters a powerful way to enter or expand into digital printing while protecting their investment in their flexo assets. 

L&NW: How does it help converters stay competitive? 

MB: By integrating digital printing capability into an existing flexo press, the N610i-R gives converters more for less. Domino N610i-R provides 600dpi CMYK + White, allowing for versioning, variable data printing, personalization, quick job changeovers, and more. This means shorter make-ready time, less setup waste, the ability to handle multi-SKU jobs more efficiently, and shorter lead time and delivery to the customer. The N610i-R is also offered on Mark Andy flexo presses through Mark Andy as the DSiQ-R.

L&NW: What type of installations benefit most from N610i-R?

MB: The N610i-R is ideal for a broad range of applications — from high-quality product labels to unique applications, including specialty and security printing, brand protection, and promotional materials. It’s particularly effective for applications requiring multiple SKUs, personalization, or frequent design changes.

L&NW: How does this solution impact productivity and costs? 

MB: Hybrid printing with the N610i-R reduces plate costs and setup waste, enabling converters to shift more short-run and versioned work to digital. With print speeds up to 230 fpm and the flexibility to switch between digital-only, flexo-only, or hybrid printing, converters can maximize press uptime and throughput — without needing to buy or house an entirely separate digital press. In fact, converters will also likely free up additional capacity on their other presses, as well. 

L&NW: What’s the long-term value for converters? 

MB: The N610i-R offers more than just immediate print flexibility — it’s a way to future-proof your business. As demand grows for faster turnaround, versioning, and customization, having a digital press allows converters to adapt quickly. With no need to expand facility size, or worry about adding additional footprint, they gain a competitive edge while keeping capital expenditures and operational disruptions to a minimum. It allows converters to implement digital printing at a lower cost entry point, while providing a great value proposition for them to go after and acquire new customers and increase their revenue.
