Produce High Quality
Letterpress plates are inherently harder than flexo plates. They offer sharper dots which reproduce sharper images, specially process color images.
Offset like high-viscosity paste inks that get kneaded by many ink rollers deliver a very think ink film on the letterpress plate. This further insures lower dot gain enabling sharper images.
Achieve Short Set up time
A new artwork being printed the very first time requires tweaking of colors which can be easily done with "offset like" color control on a letter press. The same requires changing annilox rollers and pre-press on a flexo press.
An intermittent press allows different repeat lengths to be programmed on the machine enabling printing of any odd size label without much wastage. The same requires changing of printing cylinders on a flexo press.
Execute jobs with Low Material Wastage
The paper feeding path is just as long as the length of an intermittent press (approximately 3-4 meters) unlike a flexo press in which the feeding is several tens of meters. This enables less wastage during job set up.
Programmable repeat length feature of an intermittent press requires only one set of print cylinders that print all repeats. This reduces tooling cost and wastage of printed substrate.
Stay profitable even in short runs
Due to the low wastage, low set up cost and quick set ups with removable print cylinders, shorter runs are a lot more cost effective and quick to do than in a flexo press. As an example, a 6 color, new artwork requires only 20-30 minutes to set up on our intermittent press!
Offer Reliable Service
Having multiple identical presses ensures availability of an all time "hot standby" option in case of machine breakdown or absenteeism of operators. This offers solid reliability of supply to our customers.
