MPS announced the
introduction of its flagship EF flexo printing press that features a choice of
either plate rolls or print sleeves to North and Latin American printers. The
technology will be presented at Labelexpo Americas, where local MPS
organizations MPS America and MPS Latin America are joining forces in booth
1321.
According to Denny McGee,
president of MPS America LLC, the EF press is an extremely high-quality
production press that features both UV and hot-air drying technology, allowing
users to print diverse substrates including film, paper, shrink sleeves and
flexible packaging.
McGee says the EF press is unique
to the North and Latin American market, and is the result of MPS listening to
the needs of customers. “Our goal at MPS is to help printers excel. We listen
closely to their needs and challenges, and develop solutions that specifically
address them, that is for example why we made the EF available for both plate
rolls or print sleeves at moment of order” he said.
The EF press is particularly
geared at enabling press operators to maximize their performance. “The key for success in today’s
label and packaging industry is the press operator,” said McGee. “His or her
skills, experience and motivation determine more than anything else the
productivity and printing quality and, ultimately, the return on investment.
It’s all about people. However, finding and keeping these operators is one of
the biggest challenges printers face. While we can’t help them find those
people, we can develop printing presses that enable printers to get the most
out of their press operators.
