Crazy for Combos

To alleviate some of the cost, Mark Andy recently announced that its Comco ProGlide press will now be designed to run a solvent-based gravure application in combination with the normal flexo and screen printing processes. "We have designed a very high capacity drying system along with a gravure printing station and reconfigured some components to make the press solvent-safe," Daming says. This combination allows the press operator to apply a heavy laydown of coating and keep the press speed high throughout the run.
