Edale has launched an addition to its FL range of flexographic presses the FL1 Prime, designed to give customers affordable, high quality label printing with minimal waste.
The FL1 Prime is built on the fundamentals of its bigger brother, the FL3. The target market is businesses that want a replacement or addition to the older mechanical presses used within the narrow web printing market or do not require the advanced automation of the FL3.
The press uses servo-driven technology and incorporates Edale’s Uniprint printhead design geometry, as well as pre and auto-register at a width of 350mm.
The Prime is modular and upgradable, with options to install EZ Reg and EZ Die as well as UV-LED curing.
James Boughton, managing director, Edale commented, ‘We noticed a gap in the market for those businesses who wanted an affordable ‘step up’ to a press which gives technological advancement and efficiencies and delivers superior print quality. The FL1 Prime modular design can be upgraded to suit the businesses’ growth when they need it.
‘This year marks 75 years’ experience in the printing and packaging industry and what better time for us to mark this occasion than with our launch of the FL1 Prime, which will be followed by other new products throughout the year. We are proud to have our FL presses installed worldwide, all of which are designed and manufactured in our UK Headquarters.’
