High-Tech Hero

Rotocolor found the advanced technology it needed to resume exceeding customers’ expectations, and reach new heights, in Mark Andy’s LP3000 press. The company installed the 13˝ LP3000 in January 2006. It features eight print stations; laminating, diecutting, embossing, and foil stamping units; and UV printing capability. Among the press features that draw raves from Vargus and Close are a high-performance air drying system that provides efficient drying at speeds up to 750 fpm; a short 150-foot web path that enables quicker start up and register with minimal waste; and a camera-based web-inspection system that provides 100 percent label inspection at speeds above 500 fpm.
