UTILITY
The Optima2 press is the culmination of the latest advances in flexo press technology and design. It is fitted with an advanced bounce control system, and decks with print and anilox cylinders are designed with an emphasis on rigidity, precision and reliability. The press can hold highlight dots with perfect registration and minimise bounces at high speeds. This is important as it helps to maintain job consistency — especially when using HD plates or when printing with an extended gamut.
With the Arun system, the registration and impression are adjusted automatically. The Soma ink cartridge system offers printers a means to reduce ink costs by minimising ink volume and residual waste. This is particularly handy for printing jobs where expensive spot colours are used.
POPULARITY QUOTIENT
The press is popular because it features the Arun System, which helps set register and impression with zero web waste; advanced bounce control, which reduces bounce and print at top speed; ink cartridge, which reduces residual ink waste; and retrofit-ready design, which helps customise the press to specific needs.
