matching and the ability to deliver to its clients, no matter the obstacles. Stratus has back-up capabili- ties using multiple sites; if one site can’t process a job for any reason, another site will complete the work. The two new Bobst M5 flexo presses provide the company with high-volume printing capabilities on two distinct sites for back-up purposes with the same printing quality, independent of the press op- erators. “The Bobst M5 press and its oneECG system build on the extended color gamut principle,” Leiser said. “Because it is a fully automatized system, called Di- giFlexo, it makes print pressure pre-set and register adjustments fully automated. This leads to reduced waste during setup, particularly with multi-color jobs, and consistent printing quality during production.” Waste management and sustainability are import- ant segments of Stratus’ business. The Bobst press- es, according to the company, use less substrate waste for each new job setup. In addition, the ECG system reduces ink usage with no washing, no liq- uid waste, and no ink kitchen. Stratus relies on its Bobst M5 flexo presses for long to medium runs and is fully equipped with advanced digital presses for shorter runs. A key
challenge Leiser sees ahead is about optimizing the entire production floor. Ideally, each specific job would be sent to the most appropriate press based on all the elements required – ink usage, waste, turnaround time and profitability, all with the same quality and no compromise between digital and flexo.
Designed with input from HP Indigo experts, our Parts Washer (model number A-44213-A) was created specifically to clean parts from HP Indigo digital presses. It speeds productivity through an extra long flush hose for direct hands-free flushing of press parts. The Graymills abrasive resistant pump, twin filtration system, and rugged power-coated steel construction are up to the challenge of cleaning with imaging oil. DOES AN HP INDIGO NEED ITS OWN PARTS WASHER? They Thought So.
