ere leading packaging converters and industry suppliers who travelled to Germany from more than 20 countries to discover Bobst’s new 20SEVEN CI flexo press optimised for Extended Color Gamut (ECG) printing and learn more about the ECG process.
The 20SEVEN press shown during the Open House featured a number of improvements relating to press vibrations, ink consistency in dosing and metering, drying at high speed and register tenure that have been engineered to give consistency, accuracy and repeatability to the printing process.
The event also saw printing demonstrations of commercial and mock packaging with multi-lane graphics, and the laboratory quality check that followed, also demonstrated the advantages of the ECG process.
Jens Torkel, managing director and head of CI flexo product line, at Bobst Bielefeld, said, “We have hit the mark with converters because we have succeeded in improving the machine functions that are fundamental to ensure process repeatability in wide-web flexo printing. The press is ideal for ECG but it also brings enhanced performance with conventional printing. This makes the 20SEVEN a win-win choice in any situation”.
