Labelexpo
Americas is the prime opportunity to witness the new face of Mark Andy and
truly understand our commitment to the converter. Formerly a company
maintaining an OEM-centric business model, the organization has more than
doubled its supply and service operations and expanded workflow offerings in
recent years. Six new innovations never before seen by the Labelexpo Americas
audience will be unveiled and eight technologies are slated to be demonstrated
during the three day event in stand 319.
Game-Changing
Flexo Innovations
The
Performance Series press line is a Labelexpo veteran. However, this year’s show
brings a new model- the P7E. The P7E was recently launched and brings key
advancements that promote operator efficiencies and enhanced automation through
Mark Andy AI. The P7E is also joined by the new P5E and P9E models. The P9E is
catered to those interested in going wider and taking all competencies of the
P5E and P7E into film and flexible packaging. An interactive P9E module will be
on display for those looking to learn more about the wider platform and new print
station loading mechanisms.
In
addition to new features, the P7E will be outfitted with Digital Plus Screen, a
rail mounted UV inkjet retrofit. The modular hybrid solution is a digital
replacement for rotary screen and delivers a scalable ink pile height for
tactile effects. The unit can be incorporated into new press builds and is
retrofittable on any flexo press.
Digital
Hybrid Technology
Making
its’ first formal trade show debut since the March product launch is Digital
Series HD. The True Hybrid runs 240 fpm at all colors (CMYK+OGV) with a visible
print quality of 1200 dpi. Standard to all larger Mark Andy presses, Digital
Series HD is configurable in the form of digital colors, converting
preferences, VDP packages and inline flexo options.
Digital
One will accompany the Performance Series P7E and Digital Series HD, having
proven to be a show-stopper for businesses looking to enter into digital label
printing. Since launch in 2016, the machine has been integrated in converter
shops worldwide to support micro and short run digital work.
Strategic
Partnerships
Show
models of the production-class pieces of equipment will be configured with
Praxair anilox rolls and all plates will be mounted using tesa Softprint®
Secure tapes, which are available for purchase through Mark Andy Print
Products. The Performance Series P7E will be running Siegwerk's 'Sicura LEDtec'
Dual Cure UV LED ink system. Siegwerk's market leading LED ink system provides
high quality, fast curing, vibrance and durability, pairing well with the
performance of Mark Andy ProLED.
Complete
Workflow Solutions
Standard
to all Labelexpo events, Rotoflex will share space in the Mark Andy Inc. booth.
The company will ship 3 technologies from its Canadian headquarters: the VLI,
DSI and a new offline finishing and embellishment engine. Representatives from
Mark Andy Print Products will be on-stand 319 as well as in stand 749 with
partners at DuPont Advanced Printing. This consolidation of show presence
between the two brands comes in the wake of Mark Andy being named the exclusive
distributor of DuPont Cyrel products in North America. New innovations,
high-end applications and an enhanced hospitality experience make stand 319 a
must visit location during this year’s show.
