Confirming sales of more than 20 machines from the three-day expo, including two signed contracts for the Digital Series hybrid press, Mark Andy is celebrating a successful showing at Labelexpo Americas 2016.
Building on its growing digital press offering, the company launched Digital One, an entry-level inline printing and converting machine that uses toner technology for CMYK process work. Based on 13 inch (330mm) web width and a running speed of 63ft/min (19m/min), the Digital One is a low cost introduction to prime label printing of short run jobs, based on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ pricing concept.
With a substrate range that includes pressure sensitive stocks as well as film and unsupported paper, the servo-driven flexo unit can add spot color, varnish or lamination and cold foil, with die cutting, stripping and slitting all inline. It is fitted with LED UV curing.
Tim Brasher, Mark Andy’s manager of business development, believes it will dovetail well with existing flexo and hybrid print technology
“Digital One completes the range of print technology now available from Mark Andy,” Brasher said. “With the Digital Series hybrid press, which uses inkjet technology, and the new Colordyne unit that offers four-color aqueous UV, via an add-on unit to existing presses, we compete in every sector of the print market.”
Mark Andy’s best-selling Performance Series line also fared well, acording to the compnay. The servo-driven new web control system places the machine in the shorter run flexible packaging market, where inline technology is eating into the traditional wide web CI flexo sector.
On the booth, the Performance Series press was demonstrating food grade packaging using Flint Group EkoCure Ancora low migration LED inks and Mark Andy’s new solvent-free lamination system using Ashland Purelam 9500 adhesives. Other features on the new Performance Series include improved operator control via a three-monitor console featuring HMI, vision system and the latest generation of Mark Andy ProLED UV LED curing.
Rotoflex showed its new HSI horizontal inspection rewinder with slitting, as well as the high speed VSI, and top of the range VLI for conventional labels and unsupported film. The HSI, which is available in 13 and 17 inch (330 and 440mm) web widths, ran demos at 1000 ft/min (300m/min).
