Landa Digital Printing

Venture Round in 2018
Landa Digital Printing is a member of the Landa group. It has developed a unique digital technology called Nanography® for the commercial, packaging and publishing markets. Unveiled at drupa 2012, Nanography® bridges the critical profitability gap between offset and digital printing by enabling printers to cost-effectively produce short-to-medium run lengths. Landa Digital Printing offers a breakthrough method for the production of super-efficient light-absorbing nanopigments – Landa NanoInk® colorants. The Landa Nanographic Printing® process also differs from other printing processes in that the ink does not wet the paper as in inkjet printing. Landa Nanographic Printing® technology converts the ink image into a super-thin polymeric film which is then laminated onto the paper surface, avoiding typical inkjet issues of paper saturation and enabling the creation of high quality images at high speed – on any kind of paper, at the lowest cost-per-page of any digital printing process. Landa Digital Printing is a subsidiary of the Landa Group and is located in Rehovot in the center of Israel.
