ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for printing digital graphic images directly onto a web of packaging material. First, an electronically storable and retrievable digital image is generated. Next, the digital image is transferred to a printing site. Finally, the digital image is digitally printed directly onto the web of packaging material at the printing site. The ink can be provided as a UV-reactive ink, in which instance the UV-reactive ink, after the step of printing, can be cured by exposure to UV light. The present invention allows for full color digital graphic images to be printed directly onto the surface of a web of packaging material. The web of packaging material may be a plastic material, a laminated fiberboard material or the like.
