MPS to unveil new hybrid printing solution at Labelexpo Europe 2015

MPS will unveil a new flexo press with an integrated high quality inkjet printer up to 6 colours and white option. This hybrid printing solution will give converters a range of new print potential with the combination of conventional and digital printing technologies, along with operator focus that MPS is known for. The new hybrid printing solution can be seen in the MPS stand 11C20.

Along with this new hybrid machine, MPS will show two other presses at Labelexpo Europe: the next generation EF ‘Neo’ flexo press and the EB label press. The EF Neo features completely new servo drive technology, new press software, revamped web tension control systems, and a larger main press operator control panel and touch screen. The operator panel menu, buttons and icons have been redesigned with a modern, fresh and user-friendly layout that is easy to understand, navigate and control. With the new servo drive technology combined with an improved operator interface, higher productivity is achieved.

Ideal for both short and long label printing runs, the EB is the state-of-the-art narrow web label press on which any operator can produce the best quality labels in an operator-friendly and cost-effective way. Demos on the EB will also be provided upon request.
