Following a successful Q1 Open House, Mark Andy will be showcasing its portfolio of technology to the European narrow web label market at Labelexpo Europe 2017 in September.This will include updated stand-alone technology, new press configuration options and retrofittable enhancements.
 
An updated Performance Series P7 platform will be on stand in Brussels, boasting direct servo improvements, a fully automated job register, and a more ergonomic design to elevate operator experience. The user-friendly model will be fitted with a solvent-free lamination system, producing food-grade flexible packaging live for booth attendees.
 
The show-floor Performance Series model will also be fitted with a new digital retrofit solution. Digital Plus Screen, a digital screen-print alternative, gives users the ability to quickly create dimensional, highly opaque prints. Variable data printing (VDP) is supported by the retrofit, lending itself to a complete transformation of job mix on full-production flexographic machinery.
 
This September will also mark the formal Labelexpo Europe debut of Mark Andy Digital One, an affordable, stand-alone digital label press. Engineered to profitably support shorter run lengths, the hybrid press is capable of digitally printing, converting and finishing in one pass. Digital One offers 4-color CMYK dry-toner process at 1200 dpi resolution, a multi-purpose flexo station for decorative embellishment and in-line finishing.
 
Showing on the Digital Series during Labelexpo will be an enhancement the company’s QCDC (Quick Change Die Cut) technology. The die-cutting module, which also retains a FTA Technical Innovation Award, has recently been updated with flexibility to run in either semi rotary or full rotary mode.
