As demand for short-run, high-quality labels continues to grow, more print service providers and manufacturers are bringing label production in-house. The key to success, however, isn’t just choosing the right label printer—it’s building a complete workflow that delivers professional results from print to finished roll.
This is where Afinia Label solutions truly stand out.
At Print Digital Solutions, the Afinia Label L901 and DLF-220S Dual are frequently paired together to create a seamless, end-to-end digital label production workflow. Each machine is purpose-built for a specific stage of the process, and when combined, they deliver efficiency, flexibility, and scalability that standalone systems can’t match.
Why a Complete Label Workflow Matters
Modern label production has shifted away from long runs and static designs. Today’s customers expect:
- Short to medium runs
- Frequent artwork changes
- Faster turnaround
- Consistent, professional quality
To meet these demands profitably, label production must be:
- Digitally printed for flexibility and speed
- Digitally finished to eliminate dies, delays, and outsourcing
The Afinia Label L901 and DLF-220S Dual address these needs perfectly—each excelling in its role while integrating naturally into a single workflow.

- Reduced waste compared to traditional methods
For print shops and manufacturers, the L901 enables true on-demand label production—eliminating the need to overprint or wait on outsourced jobs.

Afinia Label DLF-220S Dual: Finishing Without Limits

The DLF-220S Dual transforms printed rolls into finished, application-ready labels quickly and accurately—making it ideal for short runs, variable data, and frequent design changes.
Best suited for:
- Print providers finishing digital label jobs in-house
- Operations eliminating outsourced finishing
- Shops producing multiple SKUs or custom label shapes
Why the L901 and DLF-220S Dual Are Better Together
While each system is powerful on its own, the real advantage comes from using them together as a complete solution.
1. Seamless Digital-to-Digital Workflow
The L901 produces high-quality printed label rolls that feed directly into the DLF-220S Dual for finishing—without manual rework or delays. This creates a smooth, predictable production flow from start to finish.
2. Faster Turnaround, Greater Control
By printing and finishing labels in-house, businesses gain:
- Faster delivery times
- Greater scheduling control
- Reduced dependency on third-party vendors
This is especially valuable for time-sensitive or short-run jobs.
3. Maximum Flexibility Without Dies
Traditional label finishing relies on dies that add cost, time, and limitations. The DLF-220S Dual eliminates this entirely, allowing users to finish any label shape produced on the L901—on demand.
4. Scalable Growth
Many PDS customers start with either the L901 or the DLF-220S Dual and add the second system as demand grows. Together, they form a scalable platform that supports expanding label volumes without major workflow changes.
