ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Spectrum Label Corporation has installed the first shaftless Mark Andy XP5000 press, which was introduced at Labelexpo Americas 2008.
Spectrum Label is a high-end label converter with interests in a variety of markets including food, wine & beverage, health & beauty, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Increased interest from customers in obtaining film-based labels and flexible packaging prompted Spectrum to investigate expanded competencies in these areas. After learning about its film-handling capabilities and the flexible platform design of the shaftless servo Mark Andy XP5000, Spectrum made its choice.
"The shaftless XP5000 fulfills the promise of servo technology through independent interstation surface speed and registry control," states Bruce Riddell, vice president of engineering, Spectrum Label. "This, combined with an enhanced drying system, allows us to run high speed, predictable quality day in and day out."
A platform design, the Mark Andy XP5000 provides the capacity to perform flexo, UV flexo, cold foil, hot foil, screen, and interstation diecutting within the same print head. Spectrum says this was appealing to the company because it allows maximum flexibility on existing projects and expanded capabilities as future trends and production requirements dictate. In addition to the flexibility of the platform design, faster makereadies, increased productivity, reduced waste and enhanced registration were attractive features of the XP5000.
