St. Louis, Missouri, USA (June 09, 2010)
Mark Andy is excited to support Flexographic Trade Services with the installation of a Performance Series P5 in the education facility in Ft. Mill, South Carolina. The new press will be available for viewing during the upcoming FTS Open House scheduled for August 10, 2010. The Performance Series press line encompasses state-of-the-art flexographic print technology with a uniquely engineered print-head design and extremely fast makeready times. The introduction of the P5 brings advanced technology to the everyday converter, offering a high-quality, servo-driven press at a reasonable price. The P5 is ideal for the FTS facility as it truly represents the future of flexographic printing.
Converters, educators and students alike will have the opportunity to visit the school and experience the simple operator interface which includes repeatable settings and limited operator steps for easy and quick job setup. With this next-generation Performance Series installed at FTS, the press is ideal for the education of new operators, while also providing an opportunity for experienced converters to learn how their operations and profits will benefit from enhanced capabilities. The Performance Series line has proven a great success for Mark Andy, as 35 presses have already been sold since its initial launch of the P7 model in 2009.
“Flexographic Trade Services provides a unique opportunity for converters to further their education,” states Steve Schulte, national sales director, Mark Andy Inc. “Mark Andy has proudly supported the efforts of FTS over the years with equipment and support, and we are excited to continue this tradition with the P5 installation.” Schulte will be supporting the open house on behalf of Mark Andy, and will be joined by Mary Sullivan, director of global marketing and Jerry Henson, regional sales manager. The FTS Open House is a four day event beginning on August 9, 2010 with a golf tournament at Regent Golf Club in Ft. Mill, South Carolina and continues through August 12, 2010.
