Bouncing designs
Flexo is very promissing technology, but has one weakness. Certain designs may generate vibrations due to rotational printing process of printed and non-printed area. Therefore we developed Advanced Bounce Control system, which guarantees minimal bounces at top speeds and perfect shape of the dot.
Short runs efficiency
Jobs are getting shorter and shorter in all areas of packaging due to many reasons such a packaging personification or extended number of flavours. We developed Optima especially for quick job change-overs featuring several unique systems such as IRIS, Falcon II or Ink Cartridge.
Expanded gamut printing
Some say that the future of flexo printing is Expanded Gamut Printing (7 color fixed pallete printing, without Pantone colors). Optima, with its modern inking system and very stable dot shape due to Advanced Bounce Control is ideal for EGP. You may than benefit of:
no wash ups and therfore savings on time, ink and plate
coprinting of several designs at the same time
Environmental printing
The future of our kids is important to us. We designed OPTIMA to handle all enviroment-friendly technologies such as water based printing, paper or biodegradable materials printing, EGP or energy cured inks.
ULTRA Technology
UV or UV LED inks are broadly used mainly in label segment. For those who want to benefit from this technology in mid-web or wide-web segment, OPTIMA is ideal solution.
