The all new Optima 2 10-colour flagship flexo press from SOMA

 

SOMA, a leading provider of flexographic printing technology based in Lanskroun, Czech Republic, is poised to make a significant impact at drupa 2024, the premier global trade show for printing technologies. At this highly anticipated event, SOMA will unveil its flagship flexo press, the Optima2, renowned for its combination of proven performance and cutting-edge technology.

 

Scheduled for two live demonstrations each day, the Optima2 showcase will spotlight its remarkable capabilities, including high-speed operation, capable of handling demanding designs at speeds of up to 600 meters per minute. Of particular note is SOMA’s Advanced Bounce Control technology, a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and quality. Moreover, SOMA will highlight the press’s intelligent automation features, facilitating error-free job changeovers and enhancing operational efficiency.

 

Complementing the Optima2, SOMA will present its automatic plate mounter, the S-Mount, designed for swift and precise plate mounting, and the PLUTO III.2 slitter rewinder, featuring an integrated waste management system, emphasizing SOMA’s dedication to sustainability and efficient production.

 

A notable introduction at drupa will be SOMA’s Intelligent Printing Unit (IPU), a pioneering solution in flexographic printing. Integrated seamlessly with SOMA Optima2 presses, the IPU enables single-pass operations, significantly enhancing the efficiency of package print production, including the application of various barrier or functional coatings and heat/cold seal capabilities.

 

While attendees marvel at the advanced capabilities of the Optima2 and other cutting-edge equipment, SOMA will also unveil the PROXIMA flexo press, the newest addition to its product lineup. Combining simplicity with sophisticated technology, PROXIMA offers an economical and efficient printing solution focused on operational comfort.
