German label converter Herzog Etiketten has installed a Mark Andy Digital Pro 3 semi-rotary press at its production facility in Rohrbach.
A long-standing Mark Andy customer, the Digital Pro 3 press marks a new direction for the company in the market for high-quality, short-run labels. From its first 2200 flexo press installed in 1993, Herzog Etiketten added four more Mark Andy machines up to 2016, the latest of which was an eight-colour Performance Series P5 with a 340mm web width.
The Digital Pro 3 SR offers CMYK digital print plus a flexo unit for spot colour or varnish. The infeed includes a web cleaner and the Digital Pro is capable of laminating or applying cold foil. The die station has a maximum repeat of 482mm and there is a unit for slitting the web in running direction prior to delivery into the twin rewinder.
Herzog Etiketten managing director Rolf Herzog commented, ‘We pride ourselves on having the latest technology and have always seen Mark Andy as the world leader in label presses. Our customers expect the best from us, so we need technology that allows us to innovate cost-effectively, while maintaining top quality. The Digital Pro is a perfect fit with our flexo capability and extends the product range we can offer.’
