UK converter installs third press from K2 International

UK converter Midland Regional Printers, based in Nottingham, has purchased a 3 Series 4-color narrow web flexo press from K2 International. The 265mm machine will produce self-adhesive labels for the leisure and entertainment sectors.

The touch screen, PLC-controlled press is equipped with ceramic anilox rolls with doctor blades as well as a range of other features including fully automatic web tension control and rotary scissor slitting. It is the third machine to be supplied to MRP, which also uses a pair of K2 6-color and 7-color presses with infra red drying and UV curing units.

‘This new flexo press provides extra capacity following a significant increase in business for MRP’s label printing services,’ said Kevin Brennan, production manager at the company’s label department. ‘While other suppliers were considered, K2 had a proven track record and its service is very good.’
