Tresu announces the sale of a
multiple unit Flexo Innovator flexo press to an international printer of
lottery game cards. Lottery and games card printers have to meet a wide variety
of regulations and print requirements for the growing number of games types
around the world. Flexibility and versatility are major factors in this
specialist application with widely varying run lengths, numbers of colours,
coatings and finishing techniques needed in various combinations.
With its modular design, the Tresu
Flexo Innovator handles water-based and UV inks, and may include variable
printing and station-to-station drying systems, along with a range of finishing
operations, in a single pass. Automated ink supply systems with sealed chamber doctor
blades featuring TRESU’s pressure-control technology reduce waste and setup times,
while ensuring print quality at speeds of up to 800m/min.
Additionally, the Flexo
Innovator’s inline configuration facilitates the production of tamper-proof
games cards with clear and coloured coatings, inkjet coding and marking, and the
option for perforation, creasing, die-cutting, foiling and other game and
security enhancements.
“The Tresu Flexo Innovator
provides a strong combination of performance benefits to lottery game providers
seeking efficient, productive solutions for developing and producing innovative
games with complex features,” says Ronni Nielsen, vice-president, Tresu Solutions.
“This latest sale is a further endorsement of the Flexo Innovator concept. Tresu
has a 70 percent share of the global lottery and games card market and we are
gratified that this sale continues to support our leadership position in this
dynamic sector.”
