USA – Mark Andy, a leading manufacturer in narrow web technology, has introduced Digital Pro Plus, the latest addition to its Digital Pro series.
This innovative platform leverages the flexo base for short to medium run digital printing, integrating dry toner with optional flexo and in-line finishing capabilities.
Building upon the success of Digital One and Digital Pro, which boast over 300 installations worldwide since their inception in 2016, DPro Plus represents a significant evolution in label printing technology.
By amalgamating a proven digital toner engine with Mark Andy’s 77 years of web handling expertise, this new press offers label converters a unique opportunity to expand their business organically and affordably in response to evolving customer demands.
Featuring a standard web width of 13 inches (330mm) and a print resolution of 1,200 x 2,400, equivalent to 3,600 DPI, DPro Plus achieves production speeds of up to 76 ft/min (23 m/min) on a diverse range of substrates. Its compact design ensures a small footprint, making it ideal for integration into crowded production floors.
Ben Luly, the newly appointed product manager for digital presses at Mark Andy, describes DPro Plus as an adaptable digital hybrid with scalable capabilities to accommodate fluctuations in market demand.
From roll-to-roll to a fully configured single-pass print and finishing line, the press offers expandable options tailored to meet evolving requirements.
With no clean room requirement, DPro Plus caters to various prime pressure-sensitive label applications, including those in the food, beverage, industrial, craft goods, health, and beauty sectors. Its variable data capability aligns with the growing demand for shorter runs, personalization, and versioning.
Luly underscores the benefits of DPro Plus being a Mark Andy product, including comprehensive service plans, a global network of support and parts, technical expertise, and round-the-clock assistance through a dedicated helpline. Moreover, all consumables are readily available through Mark Andy Print Products (MAPP).
With an extensive portfolio of narrow web technology and unparalleled industry know-how, Mark Andy is poised to deliver exceptional value with the introduction of Digital Pro Plus.
Luly expresses confidence that this versatile solution will emerge as a frontrunner in the market, meeting the evolving needs of label converters with precision and efficiency.
