You outta be in film

Turning enthusiasm into earnings

Narrow-web flexo printers who want to secure a profitable place in the film market should consider optimizing an existing press or purchasing a new machine to meet their objectives.

At Mark Andy, improvements in tension control and heat management on-press have been a major focus, Daming relates. The Comco ProGlide MSP multi-substrate printing and converting system incorporates a responsive tension system, as well as a chill drum system that prevents heat from getting to the substrate. This way, films that are made to shrink under heat don't shrink prematurely. The ProGlide MSP can accommodate unsupported films as thin as .001˝, and is available in widths up to 26˝.
