Colombian converter Plasmar installs Comexi F4 to improve production times and reduce costs

The Colombian company, established in Medellín, was able to iuncrease job change speed and its consistency while printing. The new machine has enabled the company to face the challenges required of converters by the flexible packaging market: improve processes to reduce the time and the cost of manufacturing, as well as achieve and maintain high quality standards.

‘The investment in a Comexi F4 has allowed us to make rapid changes, of which we currently make six or seven every day,’ said Juan Carlos Márquez, the owner and president of Plasmar. ‘The flexographic press we acquired in 2019 is very compact and clean with to work with. I am also very satisfied with the commercial relationship that has developed between the two companies and affirms that our next machine purchase will also be from Comexi.’

The competitive advantage of the Comexi F4, in regard to job change speed has allowed Plasmar to advance and implement a fixed palette and extended range printing system, in turn eliminating the tasks of anilox changing, ink cleaning and adjusting machine color. This implementation, together with the prepress technology offered by Dupont and Esko, has allowed Plasmar to combine highly efficient production with unmatched quality.
