KBA-MePrint AG provides an interesting new development in the form of an innovative printing alternative for the growing market of tube decoration. The printing unit offers a simple design and just a few rollers. By integrating the short inking unit into an existing round-body printing system, printing onto plastic tubes enters totally new dimensions in terms of printing technology.
Less is often more
The system works without ink zones and without dampening system and quickly applies the ink to the round body. A significant portion of the set-up work, such as the time-consuming adjustment of the colors zones, is thus no longer necessary. The temperature of the plate cylinder and screen roller is controlled in order to stabilize the printing process. This ensures uniform, constant and reproducible production. The printing unit offers easy handling and high reliability.
