Tomatec Open House Spotlights Mark Andy Presses Tomatec Co Ltd in South Korea has celebrated the installation of two Mark Andy Performance series presses with an Open House at its facility in Seoul. Welcoming more than 30 label converters to the event, which was co-sponsored by Mark Andy and its Korean distributor Phil-Tech, Jeon Seak-Yong, who founded Tomatec in 2001, explained that the two P5 flexo presses were chosen for their outstanding abili- ty to handle short run work with quick and easy changeovers. Mark Andy and Tomatec operators ran three differ- ent jobs to show the speed with which the press can be made ready and then invited the visitors to try for themselves. The second print demonstration saw the Mark Andy P5 run a prime label with Cast and Cure and multi-layer techniques. According to Tomatec, there were three features of the P5 demonstrations that caught the eye of visiting converters: the production speed of 180m/min, even when running the cold foil unit; the low level of waste — just 13 meters on a six-color job change (carried out in three minutes); and the tight register
maintained during press slow down and ramp up to full speed. The two new Mark Andy presses are differently specified. The seven-color P5 is fitted with a Meech web cleaner, Vetaphone corona unit, turn bars, cold foil, delam/relam, constant tension laminator, web translator, GEW UV, and BST inspection, and will be used to target high-end added-value markets. The five-color P5 will be used to produce pressure sensitive labels for the general and industrial sectors.
