Mark Andy 2200 clarification

Following an interview with Art Fields, Flexographic Training School, in Labels & Labeling issue 3, readers might have taken away the impression that the Mark Andy 2200 press has been discontinued.

L&L editor Andy Thomas said: ‘After speaking directly with Mark Andy, I am happy to report the Mark Andy 2200 is alive and well, selling more than 130 units in 2011, and more than 50 so far in 2012.’

In a statement, Steve Schulte, vice president sales and marketing for Mark Andy, said: ‘We can confirm the Mark Andy 2200 is still being manufactured and distributed throughout the world. The 2200 has been our best selling machine for more than 25 years. Available in servo and non-servo configurations, from simpler, entry level all the way up to sophisticated 12-color multi-web machines for coupon production, there is no "gap in the market".

‘With more than 2,500 installations globally, the model 2200 is a proven favorite among converters. In fact, our engineers are currently working on the next generation 2200 to ensure this critical market segment is well cared for into the future. The 2200 is one our biggest successes over our 66-year history and it’s not going anywhere.'
