More than 60 brand owners directors and print technicians took part in a Comexi open house called Offset Innovation Day at its headquarters in Riudellots de la Selva (Girona, Spain).
Comexi demonstrated the improvement it has made in terms of efficiency and productivity like the integration of the cylinder service station with the sleeve-handling robot, which Comexi said, will allow a fast check of the mounted plates and blankets and fast replacement, if required. Further, presented improvements in costs savings in web handling, upgrades in colour matching and colour management with QuadTech technology and the possibility to group different designs in one print job.
One of the main highlights of the Open House was that attendees could see three Comexi CI8 presses working at the same time, each one of them, with different features and configurations. One Comexi CI8 press included two gravure in-line up – and downstream units. A second offset press was equipped with integrated robotisation, where the robot provides sleeve loading and unloading services to the press but also to an integrated cylinder service station.
Comexi’s partners, Sun Chemical and QuadTech, were also part of the open house, where informed the gathering about the latest developments in electron beam curable offset and flexo inks for flexible packaging; and what can be expected in the near future in EBC inks for flexible packaging.
