Launch of combination stack press
KPG are using the opportunity of the forthcoming Labelexpo to launch their new combination stack press. Utilising four different print processes; screen, uv flexo and letterpress and cold-foiling, the Euro 400 label press has been configured to give the customer maximum production flexibility.

With a maximum operating speed of up to 100m/min, each letterpress print unit is fitted with a fully retractable print cylinder shaft, making plate changes a quick and easy process. Make-ready is further aided by the inclusion of automatic wash-up on each print unit for cleaning rollers and pre-inking.
