"In the last 12 months it has produced 73% of our total print production among three presses."

"It is being used as our principal press for all of our products, but primarily for our high-end process work."

The two Flexotecnica EVO XD ten-colour presses, featuring new technology, at Signature are expected to increase turnaround time and reduce costs.

The press features the Speedy Clean automatic wash-up system and in-line viscosity control with InkSpec viscometers, auto-impression setting, and click-and-drag zero-waste registration.

It also features numerous quality control options such as a 100% inspection camera and in-line colour control.

Backer added: "Our first EVO XD was configured with ten units to give us more options on difficult jobs, and when running jobs of five colors or less back-to-back to have the cylinders for the second job in press.

"The second EVO XD is configured the same way to give us maximum flexibility."
