This
latest machine joins four other Mark
Andy model 2200 presses in the modern Central Coast plant.

This
XP5000, the first eight-colour XP delivered into Australia, is a servo driven
press utilising the latest in servo drive and registration control technology
at the printing and die cutting stations, together with servo drives at the
unwind and rewind. Internet capable diagnostics, another standard feature, will
ensure full service access 24/7.

The
Pre-register, Re-register and VariPrint features are just three of the many
standard functions available to the operator to allow optimum productivity at
the highest speeds with minimal waste at any job change. The XP5000 is designed
to print on substrates from 25um BOPP up to 350um.

Pacific Labels also had the press fitted with GEW eBrick water chilled UV drying
system, Enercon corona treater, Teknek double sided web cleaner and Harper Platinum XLT ceramic anilox
rolls from Aldus, to ensure the
clients received the highest quality product. Other special label processes
included will also allow the manufacture of specialised multi layer labels plus
various items to allow rapid job change.

David
Watts, Pacific Labels president,
made the comment that this new press will enhance its capabilities due to its
automatic registration, wider web width and much higher operating speeds. He
decided to purchase this machine after he saw a similar machine recently
installed at associate company, Topflight USA.
