One Web's Dual-Weave

RDP Marathon has set its sights on capturing high-volume pressure-sensitive business with the release of a 26" litho/flexo web press for package printing, the LF 260. Though the LF 260 is the sister press to RDP's 20" LF 200, Short explains the wider platform is actually a new rendition of RDP's 26" SR 260 press for direct mail and business forms. While the LF 200 is directed toward high-quality print jobs in shorter-run quantities of thousands and ten thousands, the LF 260's main objective is efficient production, via higher speeds and less waste, of hundreds of thousands or even millions of less ornate labels that require diecutting or other converting in-line.
