SPGPrints Announces Plans for Labelexpo Europe 2017

At Labelexpo Europe 2017, SPGPrints shows high-performance solutions for every step in the rotary screenprinting workflow for labels and packaging. Its 100% nickel re-imageable RotaMesh and re-usable RotaPlate screens offer stability at over 330fpm, and create numerous high-value effects from 3-point text to tactile varnishes, Braille and glitter.
 
The company will also demonstrate its new automatic RotaPlate Screen Cleaner plus laser imaging prepress systems for high-definition rotary screen, flexo, letterpress and dry-offset, and presents information about its PIKE 700 industrial hybrid UV-inkjet press.
 
A workbench will demonstrate SPGPrints’ rotary screen workflow as a flexible, low-TCO way of applying numerous brand-enhancing, functional and tactile effects in one pass, such as the no-label look, varnishes and Braille.
 
variLEX hybrid CtP processor is a single, digital imaging solution for flexo, dry-offset, screen and letterpress imaging – uniquely ablating and exposing in one machine.  Its multi-beam diode lasers ablate the black mask and/or directly expose UV-sensitive screen materials. An open platform, variLEX is easily adapted to the customer’s plate and dot-shaping specifications.
 
SPGPrints LSO provides a video preview of its PIKE 700 UV inkjet hybrid press that combines high-resolution digital capabilities with extensive pre-treatment and added value finishing processes, in a single pass, at high speed. The 700mm-wide roll-to-roll press based on Archer technology features up to 10 inkjet positions in a central cylinder configuration, with CMYK plus white standard, using SPGPrints’ own inks that are optimized for the printhead and the machine’s treatment processes.
