New Mark Andy presses head for Australia

Four Mark Andy P7 Performance Series presses have been purchased by label converters in Australia since the machine’s launch at Labelexpo Americas last year. 

Two 8-color machines with GEW UV curing and Harper ceramic anilox rolls – of 430mm and 250mm web widths respectively – have been installed at Melbourne-based converters Peacock Bros and Rapid Labels. Another unnamed printer purchased two of the machines during the show itself. 

Ian Guanaria, general manager of Aldus Engineering, Mark Andy’s distributor for the region, says that the standard inclusions of servo drives, automatic registration, pre-register and re-register, makes the P7 one of the most versatile and productive presses available in the narrow web market place. ‘These days, changeover times and low wastage is the name of the game; runs are getting smaller so printers can’t afford to waste material or even ink. This product would suite any narrow web printer whether they be flexible packaging, label, or tag printers,’ he said.
