Mark Andy announced that its Digital Series hybrid press platform received the 2017 Technical Innovation Award from the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA). This award is presented annually to companies or individuals who have “produced a new innovation, process or technology that powers the future of flexography.”
The Mark Andy Digital Series hybrid press platform is a unified platform which integrates flexographic printing and web transport with UV inkjet printing, in-line with product decoration and converting. The solution is targeted to label printers looking for increased productivity, flexibility and capability not achievable from existing stand-alone flexo and/or digital assets.
“We are privileged that the FTA has recognized our efforts to synergize these technologies which have historically been viewed as competitive, into a solution which ultimately gives converters the most flexibility, capability, and profitability,” said Kevin Wilken, CEO, Mark Andy.
The Digital Series platform is modular, allowing in-line flexo modules (foil, lamination, die cutting, spot color printing, etc) to be added as needs change. This eliminates obsolescence of the technology each time a new advancement is made.
The benefits of hybrid technology have inspired a growing Mark Andy digital portfolio which includes the entry-level Digital One label press introduced at Labelexpo Americas 2016, and the low-risk retrofit Digital +3600, the inaugural solution in the growing Digital Plus program supporting digital print retrofits to existing flexo equipment.
