Mark Andy reports 2200 press success

Mark Andy, a manufacturer of narrow web printing equipment, has seen much success with the redesigned model 2200 with servo technology. The company has sold more than 25 new 2200s since the product was launched in late 2007 worldwide. Five have been sold in India and Poland, with the remaining presses to be installed in Asia, Western Europe and the Americas.

Eeach section of the press is independently servo driven (shaftless) from infeed to rewind, including print and converting stations.  With fewer gears involved, both vibration and noise are reduced, as is general wear and tear.

Optional features of the redesigned 2200 include automatic register control for higher print quality and remote diagnostics, allowing for direct access to Mark Andy technical support, thereby reducing expensive downtime.

Of particular interest to printers and converters is the 2200’s newfound capability with filmic substrates.  With the demand for packaging products printed on unsupported film continuing to drive world markets, the ability to run BOPP down to 25-micron (1 mil) opens a new field of applications for converters. 

‘The 2200 offers customers improved quality and increased productivity across a variety of applications, further enhancing our extensive and unique range of flexo presses,’ said Jeff Feltz, director of product development, Mark Andy. ‘The positive response from converters has been overwhelming.’
