Martini Alprinta-V Web Offset Printing Technology in Americas Label Exhibition

One of the most important factors obtained in the production of labels and flexible packaging products is the ability to quickly and effectively change the format. Many people who visited the 2008 Americas Label Exhibition visited Muller Martini's booth and saw this with their own eyes. During the exhibition, martini exhibited its electrostatic printing unit and flexo printing unit of Alprinta-V continuous web-sized web presses designed to meet the changing needs of the packaging industry. model.

According to the information we received from the visitors, everyone showed great interest in Alprinta-V and its comprehensive capabilities. Everyone thought of our innovative press as an increase in various packaging prints. A way of profit. "Fetherman, the press manager, said.

The Alprinta-V series printers utilize a continuously changing format insertion system. The inserted system remains on the press when changing the web because only the actual size of the parts (plate Cylinder and blanket cylinder) needs to be replaced. The replacement operation does not require any tools and does not require disconnecting the web. The actual size of the parts is light, easy to handle but very stable. In just a few minutes, the press can be converted to a new format. At the 2008 Americas Label Show, Martini presented a live-web replacement operation that allowed visitors to see how fast the transition to a new repeat length on the Alprinta-V press was.

"Because of the advanced insertion technology of the Alprinta-V press, its ability to change the format is equivalent to flexo and gravure," Fetherman added. “This feature, combined with exceptional print quality, makes the Alprinta-V press ideally suited for many different types of labeling and packaging applications.” In a variety of applications that require changing the web, shrink sleeve film, polyvinyl chloride, OPP, POPP, stickers, paper labels, and in-mold labels. Martini showed some of the printed samples of these application labels at the American Label Exhibition.

In addition, the Alprinta-V press offers greater flexibility in combination printing, with offset, flexo and gravure capabilities. One of the two static printing units presented at Martini's label exhibition in the Americas was one offset printing unit and the other a flexo printing unit. The offset printing unit highlighted its quick-change drum, while the flexo unit displayed a quick-change sleeve.

The Alprinta-V press has a production speed of 1200 ft/min. This press uses Martini's famous print setting technology. It can quickly complete the school machine operation. This can greatly save labor costs while also freeing press operators to perform other tasks.
