CI flexo press: Uflex Engineering - Elisa And Vale

LAUNCH 
The first machine was made in 2018-19 with technical interventions from Comiflex SRL, Italy.

INSTALLATION
Half-a-dozen, with a few more being manufactured.

UTILITY
In the ever-changing world, to address the needs of recyclability, biodegradability and green packaging, this machine has an edge over others for its ability to print on mono, thin, and stretchable layers of substrates. Quality output with minimum interventions and economies of scale by virtue of competitive running inputs such as plates, manpower and power consumption makes it stand apart.  In addition, its closed-loop inking system and less evaporation make it a green machine.     

POPULARITY QUOTIENT
Features such as the automatic opening of printing decks, automatic pressure settings up to one micron, and the ability to operate through handheld devices or from the machine touch-screen are a few of the reasons making this machine a cynosure of all eyes. Other features include quick register match, ability to follow previous settings menus in terms of pressure and registration settings.

DEVELOPMENT IN CI FLEXO
The major development is the move from geared CI flexo to gearless CI flexo. This has addressed earlier machine limitations of offering certain fixed print repeats and replaced them with infinite combinations of printing repeat. Further automation in the field of ink circulation, pressure settings, and register control has resulted in an output, which is way far superior to the machines of yesteryears and comparable to other flexible printing processes.
