G3 Enterprises makes Nilpeter investment with 11-colour FA-4 multi-substrate flexo press featuring FP-4 flatbed unit

G3 Enterprises in Modesto, California has added an 11-colour Nilpeter FA-4 multi-substrate flexo press to meet the specific needs concerning flexibility and printing quality to exceed that of offset printing.

The press features Nilpeter’s Cleaninking quick-change inking system as well as the QC-Die quick-change die unit for fast job changeovers.

The press is also equipped with the FP-4 flatbed unit for high-quality in-line hot foil and embossing and Nilscreen for high-quality special effects and opaque white.

G3 worked alongside Nilpeter engineers to custom-build the new press to provide a state-of-the-art printing system.

‘The benefits, this press provides us, are tremendous,’ said James Stone, G3’s new business development manager. ‘Flat tooling gives wine label designers more creative license, while allowing for a broader range in stamping and embossing to meet the more challenging label designs which, in the past, required special equipment for detailing.

‘Clean printing can be a challenge on premium uncoated wine label stocks, but this press has precision impression control, which provides clean and precise colour control and high-quality print fidelity.’

Stone added: ‘This new press is a game changer for our company and our customers, as it provides an innovative, competitive edge to meet the industry’s growing premium label demands.'
