I am sure it will live up fully to the confidence and trust we have placed in it.”

The label press is easy to use and quick at setup. Other innovative features, aiming at simplifying a printer’s work, include laser-assisted pre-register and register setting devices that speed up the machine setup and rebooting after job change. The machine has the shortest web path in narrow web printing for incredible savings in the start-up phase. It is also the only machine to have all the impression rollers direct drive with obvious benefits on the print quality and in waste savings.

The machine handles a wide range of sizes, from 5.5 to 18-inches for small spending in printing plate production.

The sale was handled by Omet’s exclusive agent in India, New Delhi-based Weldon Celloplast. Pawandeep Sahni, director Weldon Celloplast, said, “Webtech is a prestigious customer. A lot of evaluation has gone into selection of the iFlex. It is only when they were convinced that the equipment is value for money that they acquired the machine.”
