Cheshire, UK-based trade label printer The Label Company has installed a new 6-color Proflex 250 press from Focus Label Machinery.

The Proflex 250 is a 10in-wide modular, in-line press, equipped with turn bar, laminating, die station, sheeting station, slitting and rewinding. In addition to the UV drying system, the press is equipped with standard dryers, which combine infrared lamps with forced cold air, allowing faster drying speeds without heat build up. The removable print cassettes can be interchanged, or removed from the press in a few seconds, allowing very fast job changes and clean ups.

The Label Company’s Dave Summersgill commented: ‘The Proflex has proven to be the perfect choice for us at this stage in our development. It has all the sophistication of larger, more expensive presses, but still has a relatively short web path and remains a nice, compact design.  More importantly, it has increased our productivity considerably and it gives us plenty of options for the future, since the Proflex is modular and we can add to it as we need to.

‘The new press has enabled us to produce a higher quality of work, which in turn, is opening doors in new markets for us. Focus has been very supportive and their technical staff are always available if we need any technical advice.’
