Mid-East Flexo Installation Uses New System
Plasto-Sac, a growing packaging producer in the Middle East, is installing a Comexi wide-web CI flexographic press designed to use Sun Chemical's patented Wetflex EC printing process.
The system can be fitted by a press operator and, unlike competing bulk-feed systems, installing it is a straight forward process that does not require modifications to either the hardware or software in the press, said Sun Chemical Screen.
S-Tech incorporates a sensor to ensure ink delivery is kept at a constant level and controls the ink reservoir levels to give consistent ink pressure on the print heads.
Tony Cox, digital business and marketing manager at Sun Chemical Screen, said: "Approximately 8,000 printers in Europe use Mimaki JV3 presses and could benefit from adopting the S-Tech bulk feed system.
It offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing the OEM's pre-filled cartridges.
As well as reducing the printer's outlay on consumables, S-Tech reduces down-time as the 600ml ink tanks can be topped up on the run, even whilst the printer is in operation." He added: "That can significantly increase productivity.
What is the point of having a high-speed digital press installed if you have to stop it running to refill the ink? S-Tech provides a highly practical solution to maintaining this machine up-time." And Cox explained: "Printers often don't realise there are alternative products available in the market and often believe that swapping consumables is too risky or complicated.
With products like S-Tech bulk feed system, Sun Chemical Screen makes the process of changing ink suppliers safe, fast and financially beneficial.
In addition, the printer will enjoy a long-term partnership with the largest and most-established producer of inks and pigments in the world.".
