Comexi F4 is most efficient for flexographic printing short-run solutions, since it is 28.3-36.2˝ wide with a 23.6˝ maximum format. This press was the first to incorporate FLEXOEfficiency patented concepts, with ergonomics, accessibility, performance and robustness becoming the new characteristics for the F2 and Comexi F1 press models.

Among other qualities, the Comexi F4 has pipeless magnetic blades, patented by Comexi, allowing the printing unit to change in less than one minute. The press also has features with high added value and improved printing quality provided exclusively by Comexi. The machine also has other technical elements to minimize strip wear. In addition, Comexi F4 incorporates the direct drive system to synchronize central drum and mandrels. This process is possible through encoders mounted directly on the axis, improving the reading accuracy and print logging. The Comexi F4 has also been reinforced by a core anilox of 59.8˝ in diameter.

With the Comexi F4, maintenance is easier and more accessible. For example, the platform incorporates an easy-opening system to clean the central drum and it is possible to disassemble the drying screens from the side for cleaning. Furthermore, the threading material is easy and very accessible without the need of motorization or access stairs. It is also a user-friendly machine because the control panel located strategically making easier the printing process elements control.

Comexi F4 is able to print eight colors with different formats from 9.4 to 23.6˝ widths up to 36.2˝ at speeds up to 984 fpm.
