The hybrid EF Symjet
MPS could celebrate two sales of the EF Symjet press at Labelexpo, one in the Netherlands and another to the US. The hybrid machine combines the company’s EF flexo press with a Domino N610i UV inkjet engine to offer hybrid production at speeds up to 75m/min.
The first order came from Etikettendrukkerij Noord Nederland (EDNN), a printer based in Hoogeveen, and the first in the Netherlands to purchase a Symjet. Vincent Belksma, general manager at EDNN, commented, ‘We were looking for a versatile press that could print perfect quality, especially on shorter runs. This hybrid printing solution from MPS and Domino with inline finishing fits our needs perfectly and is a great addition to our machine park.’
The second bottle of champagne popped for DWS Printing from Deer Park, New York, in the US, marking the company’s first MPS press. Established in 1865, DWS is still in family hands, today managed by the fourth generation, brothers Tom and Andy Staib. The brothers visited the Technology and Expertise Centre at the MPS headquarters in Arnhem earlier this year.
