The Aosta Valley is not only known for its impressive nature. It is also home to Tipografia Valdostana S.R.L., nestled in the Italian Alps. For over 120 years, the traditional family business from Aosta has been a pioneer in terms of quality and innovation in printing technology. Of course, it is important to stay at the forefront in a rapidly developing market. And that is precisely why Tipografia Valdostana has opted for LEONHARD KURZ and digital finishing with the DM-SMARTLINER.
Tipografia Valdostana has been combining traditional craftsmanship and printing processes with modern technology since 1896. Today, due to current market demands, the focus is primarily on speed, efficiency, innovation and quality in order to provide exceptional printing solutions for the highest demands. Passion for craftsmanship, attention to detail and maximum precision in execution characterize every phase of the production process. In order to fulfill all these criteria in the best possible way, the traditional Italian company went straight to LEONHARD KURZ. Thanks to the DM-SMARTLINER, Tipografia Valdostana can now become a pioneer in the industry. The compact, powerful and robust machine is based on innovative technology, ensures optimum efficiency, breathtaking finishing results and also conserves resources.
For Tipografia Valdostana, speed doesn't just mean fast printing. Every second counts, from the preparation of the quotation to the ideal production solution tailored to the customer's needs and implementation in the highest quality. Because in the battle for customers, the 'time' factor means a clear competitive advantage. With the DM-SMARTLINER, the company is now able to impress in terms of efficiency and speed. But in order to remain at the top in the long term, other important criteria need to be met.
Uniqueness is required to stand out from the competition and impress the desired target group. This is where the company relies on digital finishing with the DM-SMARTLINER, which enables brilliant, digital metallization for sheet-fed printing in a compact digital transfer. Whether classic production or mass customization, individualization, short runs or special editions - the high-performance stand-alone printing unit enables maximum flexibility and efficiency. With the DM-SMARTLINER, Tipografia Valdostana is able to realize individual metallic decorations tailored to customer requirements. Short start-up times ensure minimal downtime and faster production. In addition, the digital printing machine is designed to be energy-efficient, enabling low energy consumption and thus reducing operating costs. "At Tipografia Valdostana, we have always been committed to delivering the highest quality in print production and the introduction of digital technology has taken this commitment to a new level. The flexibility it offers allows us to meet the unique requirements of each project and effortlessly achieve precise and impressive results. This technology enhances creativity and ensures efficiency and consistency across all our printed products. It is a game changer for us, allowing us to push the boundaries of what is possible in printing," explains Paolo Perrin, owner of Tipografia Valdostana S.R.L.
A cooperation project between KURZ, LUXORO and Tipografia Valdostana is a particularly impressive example of the new, breathtaking finishing worlds and perspectives opened up by digital finishing: In 2022, KURZ partner LUXORO organized the first live trade fairs after the coronavirus pandemic. There, 20 posters designed by Tipografia Valdostana and finished to a high standard with the DM-SMARTLINER were to make their debut. At ‘Print 4 All’ and the ‘Packaging Premiere’, the digital metallization technology was impressively presented using these precisely designed posters. The motto of the exhibitions: ‘NOW’. The theme was intended to convey the urgency of living in the here and now and seizing opportunities as they arise. Tipografia Valdostana showed impressive works of art and impressed with high-quality, filigree finishes that demonstrated the performance, but also the versatility and precision of the DM-SMARTLINER. The posters were presented under the exhibition title ‘Contemporanea’ and celebrated by an enthusiastic audience. A true gallery experience that demonstrated the artistic and transformative power of finishing technology. "With this project, we wanted to combine the cutting-edge technology of digital metallization with artistic creativity and offer a product that stands out for its quality and meaning. For us, it's not just about decoration, but about creating something timeless, a visual narrative that speaks to the heart while demonstrating the future of print finishing," summarizes Chiara Gaudio, Marketing and Communications Manager at LUXORO.
The events were a complete success. The introduction of the DM-SMARTLINER has opened up the revolutionary world of digital toner metallization for Tipografia Valdostana. Thanks to digital enhancement technology, razor-sharp, high-precision metallic effects and glossy surfaces have become the new benchmark for the Italian company. The DM-SMARTLINER not only impresses with its compactness, performance and efficiency, but also with its particular robustness, which ensures increased operating time and thus extends the service life of the machine. This saves costs and energy and conserves resources in the interests of sustainability. The introduction of the DM-SMARTLINER marks the beginning of a new era in industrial print production at Tipografia Valdostana that sets new standards. And is also a role model for other companies.
