MPS Systems North America Inc has sold an EF flexo press to Bizerba Label Solutions, part of the Bizerba Group.
John Gomeau, president of Bizerba Label Solutions, said, ‘We are very impressed with all this press has to offer,’ he said. ‘The fact that it can run very thin films at high speeds and in stable register is very remarkable. It’s also great that we can continue to use our existing plate roll tooling stock.’
Kees Nijenhuis, vice president of MPS Systems North America Inc, added, ‘Bizerba’s success is a direct result of their focus on delivering first-class service to their customers. That is the same at MPS. Service, whether its connecting customers with the right press to meet their exact needs, or training press operators to get the most from the press, or providing outstanding preventive and repair maintenance, customer service is our number one priority.’
The printer is MPS’ flagship. It is an automated multi-substrate flexo press that offers a choice of either plate rolls or print sleeves, providing the ultimate in flexibility. It also features both UV and hot-air drying technology, allowing users to print on a variety of substrates including thin film, paper, cartonboard, shrink sleeves, inmould, lamitube and flexible packaging.
The EF features Crisp.Dot and iControl technologies. Crisp.Dot uses a rubber-coated counter-pressure roller to exert equalised pressure resulting in minimal dot gain. The result is that the print dot retains its round shape, the ink coverage is solid and small fonts are sharper. The iControl management and service operator/machine interface minimises operator errors. Simple, intuitive and stress-free to operate, this technology enables the operator to choose and run individual functions via a touch screen and button, greatly simplifying machine control and operation.
