MPS is unveiling the new cost-effective EB press at Labelexpo
Designed for label printers in all market segments, and built with a combination of the company’s high quality printing, performance and affordability, MPS is unveiling its new cost-effective EB press at Labelexpo.
The press includes features such as short web technology, iStop and a pre-register solution to minimise waste and set up time, the EB press is available with a print width of 360 mm, a material width of 370 mm, and is designed for printing and converting of self-adhesive labels.
With a configuration of up to 10 print stations, the press is equipped with a double die station suitable for front and back side die-cutting, sheeting and slitting.
Various converting applications such as web turner bar, de-lam/re-lam, and laminating solutions including cold foil can be implemented at any location along the press using the MPS flexible positioning rail system.
Additional solutions such as cross over multi-layer labels can also be added. A range of drying options are available including UV drying, IR-combination drying and hot air drying solutions.
Technical director and co-founder Bert van den Brink said, ‘To complement the EF and EXL series in our product range that offer extended levels of automation, we saw a market need to develop a press for label printers that also delivers high performance MPS technology but at a much lower initial investment. It was a challenge to design a press comprising of high quality components, technologies and ergonomic build without exceeding the budgeted costs to meet the attractive price point we wanted to achieve. With the EB press we proudly met our design goal.’
Eric Hoendervangers, MPS commercial director added, ‘With the theme in the MPS stand at Labelexpo Europe being ‘The Choice is Yours’, it is an ideal venue to launch our new EB press, the most cost-effective press MPS has ever built. It proves that MPS can accommodate a printer’s price range and level of automation requirements in a printing press.’
