Label Solutions Adds Digital Capabilities with Mark Andy Digital Series Hybrid Press

Label Solutions Inc., a pressure sensitive label supplier located in Marshfield, MO, has installed a Mark Andy Digital Series hybrid press to expand and stabilize its digital printing operation. Having 10 years’ experience in digital printing, Label Solutions has had experience with several platforms including inkjet and toner-based systems, and has benefitted from the advantages that digital printing offers when comes to short runs and versioned graphics.
 
The fully configurable Mark Andy Digital Series replaced an existing digital system and joins another digital solution that has been in operation for three years. The hybrid solution includes two flexo print stations, one before and one after the inkjet module, and includes capabilities for in-line lamination, varnishing and cold foiling.
 
Together with two traditional flexo presses, Label Solutions supports its market-leading position as a label supplier to the compressed gas cylinder industry. Label Solutions’ Digital Series press has been in full production operation since April and it is delivering as promised.
 
The Mark Andy Digital Series is a production-level digital solution, built to reliably run high-quality jobs at speeds of 240 fpm (73 mpm). It is available with a printing width of 13.25 inch (336mm), supports repeats for hybrid (flexo) printing from 5.5 to 24 inch (140-610mm), and is supported by Mark Andy’s ProWORX digital front end (powered by Esko). The Digital Series is built on Mark Andy’s Performance Series platform and is engineered to be highly configurable. It features high-resolution UV inkjet printing (CMYK+White) and offers top-coating, fully integrated in-line flexographic printing modules, and a full range of converting options.
