Working Overtime to Eliminate Downtime

New technologies provide speed and uptime improvements

The first thing printers need to recognize is what is happening in the market to improve the overall operation of wide-web flexo. For PCMC Global Business Development Manager Tom Jacques, the solutions lie in new technology. "The most important factors have been the development of gearless printing technology that have been aided by advancements in servo drives, printing sleeves and press design, and new drying technology," Jacques says. His company has paid particular attention to these variables since the 90s, with a sleeve presentation system on PCMC's Infiniti family of presses designed specifically to cut changeover time and reduce sleeve damage.
