Abbey Labels installs first MPS press

The press was installed successfully last month at Abbey Label’s factory in Bury St Edmunds, UK.

The multi-substrate flexo press in an 8-color full UV machine with a web width of 340mm. The press installed is equipped with an APC automation extension package, which contains servo positioning motors to automatically set the desired print pressure settings.

Abbey Labels chairman Tom Allum said: ‘Innovative technology, ease of operation and the ability to print on a wide range of substrates are the three main reasons why Abbey Labels opted for MPS. Every operator is able to work with the press, as the print operations and settings are self-explanatory. In addition, the press touch screen and controls are simple to operate delivering consistent print and productivity results time and time again.’

Nick Tyrer, sales director of MPS Systems UK, said: ‘We are pleased to receive this new order from a reputable label printer in the UK. For Abbey Labels, its first MPS EF flexo press will contribute significantly to a growing demand for flexo labels in their vast portfolio of label production and printing services. MPS is privileged to provide its flagship press.’
