Mark Andy Adds Three New Models to Performance Series Line

Mark Andy has released new press models – P9E, P7E and P5E – to the award-winning Performance Series product line. The Performance Series platform redefines workflow productivity through its simple design, efficient waste savings and fast changeovers.
 
The new Performance Series P9E press is specifically designed for high-quality flexible packaging production. Available in web widths up to 26 inch (660 mm), the flexo press is engineered as the ideal solution to print film, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging and foil lidding.
 
Performance Series P9E is built standard with new servo-controlled impression adjustment, independent servo-driven anilox rolls and servo side adjust at print speeds up to 1,000 fpm. Ergonomic efficiency is at the forefront of the wider 22 and 26 inch web widths, which include plate cylinder loading support as well as an anilox and chamber drawer. Configured with Mark Andy AI, the Performance Series P9E offers advanced automation with automated registration and impression, job save, 8 servo motors per station and a centralized control system. The enhancements reduce manual adjustments and associated downtime while meeting Industry 4.0 demands. The Mark Andy AI package is intelligent and customized to unique business needs, curbing potential production bottlenecks.
 
Given the increased demand for shrink and pouches coupled with larger volumes of shorter run lengths, the P9E is a profitable platform for short run flexible packaging.
 
“Mark Andy has over 800 Performance Series installed worldwide. We continue to develop flexible printing solutions that allow our customers to evolve as their job mix changes. The Performance Series P9E is an extension of our commitment and solves the pain points narrow web converters are facing plus the growing demand for shrink,” said Jeff Cowan, director – business development, Mark Andy.
 
The Performance Series press line also offers the P7E and P5E models. Engineered with precision, the Performance Series P7E allows converters to expand into new markets, targeting entry level film and extended content applications. The P5E is designed to increase converter profitability for the simplest to most complex label applications.
 
“The P5 and P7 have been best-selling models in the Performance Series line, based primarily on the versatility and productivity,” added Cowan. “The release of the P5E and P7E demonstrates updated servo architecture allowing for tighter registration and a complete redesign of the converting options all focused on providing a better operator experience.“
 
P9E, P7E and P5E models are offered alongside the P3 and P4 press models, designed for the everyday converter’s book of pressure sensitive prime label business.
 
The Performance Series P7E and P5E are available now for order, with the official unveiling of P9E at Labelexpo Americas 2018.
