During the event the LG10 press was run continuously showing off its hot air, UV IR drying, slitting, sheeting, die cutting and re-registration capabilities. This included a seven-color die cut label, 5-color die cut school calendar that all printed in perfect registration which was further proved when Chris Averitt, FTS School program director and trainer, was able to run the same job through a second time and re-register the final color to the previously printed job. The LG10's most unique modular feature was also demonstrated in being able to take out complete print and die sections and place in different positions, which was not only simple to do but was accomplished in less than 15min per station. This was done in full view of the more than 100 visitors and to everyone's amazement proved for the first time that being able to re-configure a press can be done in real time without the need for sophisticated software and servo technology and by personnel with minimal experience or mechanical skills.
