Largest Mark Andy yet to be installed in Australia

Mark Andy’s Australian distributor Aldus Engineering will show a slimmed-down version of a 10-color Mark Andy P7 press at PrintEx11, the country’s major print trade show this year. Due to its size and extensive enhancements, the machine is being kept under wraps by the unnamed Sydney-based converter which will take delivery of the press in May. 

Aldus managing director Ian Guanaria said: ‘Due to the size of the press and the limitations of the stand size, we will only be exhibiting it as a 6-color press.’ With printing widths of 250, 330 and 430mm and the ability to print on substrates, including film from 25 to 350 microns, it will be the largest Mark Andy press ever sold in Australia. 

The 230m per minute narrow web flexo machine features an open print station design with 'lock and load' technology and multiple servos to accommodate more functions at each print station. ‘In-line rotary die-cutting, web-reversing option and the ability to combine UV curing with high-efficiency hot-air drying, extend its flexibility even further,’ Guanaria added.
