Leading Swedish label converter LariTryck AB invested heavily at the recent Mark Andy Open House in Warsaw. Looking to add to his existing flexo capacity, which already includes three Mark Andy Performance Series P7 and two 2200 presses located at plants in Nässjö and Bjuv, CEO Johan Ripa placed an order for a fourth P7, this time one of the second generation presses with an enhanced platform to be more responsive and productive. But, he didn’t stop at the P7 and went on to place an order for a new Mark Andy Digital Series inkjet hybrid press platform.
“The Mark Andy P7 presses have allowed us to grow our business year on year by 15% so we urgently need extra flexo capacity,” Ripa said. “But when I watched the live demonstration of the Digital Series, I could immediately see how it could open opportunities for us in new markets.”
The Digital Series specification mirrors that of the demonstration machine in Warsaw, which has a 330mm web width, one flexo unit before Mark Andy’s own CMYK+White inkjet module and two flexo units after, leading to a QCDC module – the concept being to print and convert inline in one pass.
