In-Line Folding Carton Converting

Today's flexo presses bring more science (less art) to the production process. Completely servo-driven flexo presses eliminate all mechanical-related issues in the print process, eliminating gear-marking, for example. Job changes (color and copy) can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes on a 6-color press from good product to good product. Copy changes can be done on-the-fly, without the press stopping, generating very little waste. Job set up can be memorized and recalled for excellent repeatability and consistency. Print registration is completely automated and controlled, even throughout speed changes, to further enhance production consistency. In effect, the flexo press operator becomes like a press manager, since the press automation reduces the need for direct operator interaction.
