At the upcoming Labelexpo Europe 2015 OMET plans to showcase New iFlex with laser pre-register, XFlex X6 with Flexo+Offset combination, JetPlus digital inkjet printing and UV LEDFlexo curing.
Queen of the Show will be the new iFlex 370mm (14’’) label press whose simple operation and great ergonomics of use have arisen great interest among converters all over the world since its debut last May. With iFlex,label printing has changed forever as it is by far the ‘best in class’ among entry-level presses. iFlex is supported by tools designed to reach the best performance in terms of quality, rapidity of changeover, waste savings and manoeuvrability by the operator.
The machine features innovative pre-register and register devices that contribute to speed up the machine set-ups and job changeovers. Among these, iLight, laser-based system supporting the printer to reach the best register in the shortest time and iVision, control system using video-cameras placed on each print unit for immediate register correction before the job reaches the end of the line. The iFlexconverting section is a work of art as far as technology and simplicity in use are concerned: the Quick Change Die Cutting (QCDC) is a trolley with two separate parking spots that simplify the replacement of the die cylinder, while Rock’n’Roll is by far the most performing matrix waste rewinding system on the market.
XFlex X6 Offset, introduced 2 years ago in Brussels, has been very successful in the segment of Flexo+Offset label and packaging combination printing. The XFlex X6 Flexo+Offset press represents the ideal bridge between label printing and packaging printing as it mixes the highest Offset quality, researched by brand owners worldwide, with Flexo flexibility and completeness. This press is a great solution for converters handling runs of flexible packaging, shrink sleeves, IML labels and special tailor-made applications. The XFlex X6 Offset 430mm (17’’) on show at Labelexpo will introduce, too, the Quick Change Die Cutting converting station as a booster of changeover speed and time saver.
The third printing machine on show will be XFlex X6 Digital, which is a future ready press. XFlex X6 Digital 430mm (17’’) with 4-colour digital inkjet unit JetPlus is the perfect choice when variable data, short runs or sampling are involved. Through XFlex X6 Digital you can print any digital file with no need of pre-press and with the guarantee of high quality results. The combination with Flexo and a full array of in-line finishing and converting options widens the printing possibilities to levels never seen before. Another news awaits customers visiting OMET stand. Flexo printing on XFlex X6 Digital will introduce a great innovation: UV LED curing, which will bring enormous advantages in terms of energy consumption and overall performance.
OMET’s full range of solutions for label and packaging printing will be presented to the show visitors.
