Mark Andy 2200s on display at FTS open house

Mark Andy has announced its cooperation with FTS and other vendor sponsors in hosting an open house on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, at the FTS facility in Fort Mills, South Carolina. 

The open house celebrates the installation of two new Mark Andy 2200 presses. Key print applications will be featured at the open house, most notably the demonstration of the 2200 running unsupported film.   

Also installed at FTS, and viewable during the open house, is the Mark Andy VSR300 finishing machine. The VSR offers roll-to-roll finishing at rates up to 900 fpm, an ergonomically friendly design, and quick-change die cassettes.

This event provides printers and converters the opportunity to see first-hand the Mark Andy machines in operation and to learn more about the facility, the services it provides, and its future direction. Visitors will have the opportunity to network with the more than 40 FTS vendor sponsors who share a common vision of growing flexo through education and industry leadership.

Converters, printers, media and industry colleagues are invited to attend this unique event.  In addition to the press demonstrations and break-out vendor sessions, planned events include a golf tournament on Monday, April 7, and two complimentary hands-on training sessions for attendees, held Wednesday and Thursday, April 9-10. FTS encourages attendees to take advantage of these opportunities and learn more about the latest trends in flexo work flow from pre-press to finishing.

In operation since 2000, FTS has grown into a successful provider of press operator training and a location for research and technology.
