EXPLORE NEW MARKETS WITH THE ALL-NEW COMCO C1 PROGLIDE
Wednesday 24. December 2008 - Newest Comco press inspires innovation
Mark Andy Inc., a world leader in narrow and mid-web printing equipment announces the newest addition to its line of innovative Comco equipment, C1 ProGlide. This smart mid-web solution promises complete flexibility and configurability, high productivity, thin film capability, and is the ideal press to take converters into new and expanding packaging markets.
Able to accommodate material from 0.5 mil film to 24 pt board and completely modular, C1 ProGlide is configurable for a wide variety of applications including high-end labels, flexible packaging and folding cartons. Interchangeable screen and hot foil cassettes give the converter the flexibility of value-add graphics at any station in the press and proven gravure process integration provides an economic method for applying heavy coat weights and metallic inks. Additional flexibility is provided by independently controlled pacing profile at each print station, allowing the converter the opportunity to match the exact specifications for the required application.
With enhanced drying and curing systems able to support production speeds of up to 750 fpm (230 m/min) and available in widths up to 26 in (660 mm), C1 ProGlide is an extremely productive press for any printing or converting requirement. Advanced closed loop auto registration and tension systems ensure tight process control at high speeds, resulting in increased productivity.
As thin film capability becomes even more critical in a growing number of applications, C1 ProGlide offers unique servo drive implementation providing more stable web tension and significant registration performance, even on the thinnest films. The unique chill roll design allows for a higher concentration of heat or UV curing eliminating temperature-related substrate distortion or web transport issues.
“Comco presses have consistently proven to be innovative, productive solutions for our customers,” states Jeff Feltz, director of product management, Mark Andy Inc. “C1 ProGlide is no different. We look forward to working with users on new, innovative applications to help drive their business forward.”
Armed with patented I-Drive” technology and able to handle such applications as electrical printed circuits, lottery and gaming coupons and faux credit cards, Comco C1 ProGlide is advanced technology for advancing markets.
