Mark Andy, has added a new narrow web flexo press to its existing PerformanceSeriesP3,P5 andP7 presses. The newP4 is claimed to be an economical model offering features that bring the innovation award-winning benefits of the Performance Series press platform to a broader range of mid-sized label printers and converters. This model was designed with economy and automation in mind, and is well positioned to replace existing mechanical presses still being used today, allowing printers and converters to remain competitive and modernize their operations by upgrading to a short-path, servo-driven automated press.
Featuring the key Performance Series attributes including load-and-lock inking system and extremely fast setup and change over times on short path presses to improve productivity by as much as 60%, the new P4 is servo-driven, resulting in enhanced automation and precision. At the same time, the P4 is extremely flexible. Converters can configure a P4 with the advanced P Series style plate tooling, or select a configuration which accepts existing or traditional style plate cylinder tooling, promoting use of current tooling inventories and minimizing investment costs. The configuration for legacy tooling which must be done at the time of placing the order can, we believe, accommodate even competitors ’tooling. This latest P Series model also features a rail system, on which moveable inter-station processes like cold foil, lamination, screen and turn bar can be mounted and moved from station to station easily adding flexibility in job capability.
The newP4 includes improved print and registration management for higher productivity with faster set up, changeovers and running speed; broader application and substrate capabilities; and a completely upgradeable, modular design. The new P4 is now available from Mark Andy and will be making its debut at Labelexpo Europe from 29 September to 1 October 2015 in Brussels, Belgium. In Hall 4 Stand C45 visitors will witness firsthand the new features of the P4 running several live demonstrations daily and featuring ProLED UV LED curing. ProLED is a fully integrated UV LED curing system that reduces energy consumption while providing a cleaner, mercury-free printing environment
