St. Louis, Missouri (August 22, 2008) Mark Andy Inc., a world leader in narrow web printing equipment introduces the updated Mark Andy XP5000 shaftless design, dedicated to increasing productivity and flexibility for the lean-minded printer.
The Mark Andy XP5000 delivers productivity with unmatched drying capabilities (true 750 ft/min (230 m/min) run speeds on the most difficult applications) and a robust design built for around-the-clock operation. Advanced closed loop auto-registration and tension control systems ensure tight process control at high speeds, another commitment to productivity. The XP5000 also offers the ultimate in process flexibility, allowing the converter to independently pace each print station throughout the press, a critical process for multi-web construction and lamination applications. A true platform design, the Mark Andy XP5000 provides the capacity to perform flexo, UV flexo, cold foil, hot foil, screen and interstation diecutting all within the same printhead. This provides the converter maximum flexibility to expand their press as future trends and production requirements dictate.
“The Mark Andy XP5000 is the only press in its class with a true, interchangeable station platform design,” states Jeff Feltz, director of product management, Mark Andy Inc. “The inclusion of shaftless technology is a natural extension to what has already proven to be the ultimate press in maximizing productivity.”
Other key features of the press include the ability to run a variety of substrates from unsupported film to light board, the flexible Mark Andy “QC” platform cassettes, remote diagnostics capability and an intelligent message center. Available with a fully integrated UVT PowerSmart UV curing system, the Mark Andy XP5000 is a premier option in the narrow web marketplace.
