Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC) has developed a new anti-bounce feature, SteadyPrint, that is now part of the Fusion series of flexographic presses.
SteadyPrint helps to mitigate the challenges of bounce and further enhances the Fusion’s ability to produce high-quality output by monitoring and reducing bounce in real time.
‘Printers have historically faced challenges with printing certain bounce-causing attributes of brand images,’ shared Dave Wall, PCMC’s printing, coating and laminating value stream leader. ‘Through a complete review of mechanical and controls design, the team has developed a design package that will help to mitigate those challenges.’
SteadyPrint enhances the design of mechanical elements to minimise the effects of forces experienced during printing. The technology monitors and reduces bounce in real time, reduces press vibration and noise, and allows printing through speed ranges without changing impression.
SteadyPrint will be a standard feature on all Fusion presses.
