Indian converter purchases Focus Reflex press

Regal Creative, a label printer based in Delhi, India, has installed a new Reflex 330 Servo flexo press from Focus Label Machinery. The Reflex press is a servo-driven, stand-alone single color press, equipped with auto re-register, UV drying, rotary die-cutting, slitting and rewinding. 

Regal Creative will use the press for overprinting and UV varnishing of pre-printed labelstock from hot foil stamping presses, as well as for single color and blank labels. According to Focus, the auto re-register facility enables perfect re-registration for over printing and die-cutting/finishing, making the Reflex a capable partner for digital web presses. All press operations are controlled from HMI operator panels, where job data can also be entered for future retrieval. The press is capable of print and convert re-register speeds in excess of 100 meters per minute. 

Rakshit Chawla of Regal Creative said: ‘We needed a press which we could use to take single color jobs off our multi-color presses, and which we could use to varnish and convert pre-printed stock from our other equipment. The Reflex was the perfect tool for the job. We wanted to apply a high gloss varnish on labels which were printed on hot foil presses. Focus provided some tailor-made modifications for us, which allowed us to achieve a very high gloss varnish and then die-cut in line. We were pleased with the attention to detail shown by Focus, as well as their excellent after sales service.’ 

Antony Cotton of Focus added: ‘I visited Regal Creative’s Delhi facility shortly after the Reflex press had been installed and was amazed to see how fast the press was running, varnishing and converting pre-printed labels from various other label presses. It was certainly a very professional operation with high quality printing presses, including a newly installed Gallus press. We are very pleased to be associated with Regal Creative and hope to be able to supply more equipment in the near future.’
