Flexo Image Graphics (FIG) will present Mark Andy’s prowess in flexo label production at the upcoming LMAI Conference 2025, scheduled to take place from 3 to 6 July in Udaipur. FIG distributes Mark Andy and other global brands in the subcontinent.
Florian Stroe, sales manager, Mark Andy, said India is and will be an evolving market because of the dynamics of businesses and the needs for new servo technologies to replace some old and low production equipment. “We see new flexo presses are getting into the present Indian market, prepared to be the products for future. In the scenario, hybrid digital presses will gradually gain popularity as we see a lot of converters showing interest in the fusion technology.”
When it comes to global shift in short-run and customized printing, Mark Andy presses are now fully servo driven and automated to minimize makeready waste, setup time, with very tight registration allowing to print even expanded gamut. “However, for short-run jobs we have the best hybrid solution—digital series HD UV inkjet press, a productive, efficient, fully modular, and capable machine to integrate any custom equipment or technology,” Stroe says.
Either flexo or hybrid model, Mark Andy presses available in India are designed and engineered to meet the latest market demands, he said. “Fully servo driven and automated, all our presses need low maintenance and they last long,” Stroe says, adding, “Other advantages include lowest makeready times and setup waste with highest productivity.”
On the ongoing debate on digital vs flexo vs hybrid, Stroe says that five years down the line, digital and hybrid could grow to handle more short-run jobs. “We do not want to make predictions. Our endeavor is to strive to be one of the top manufacturers of flexo and digital hybrid presses in the world.”
