The NX series comes with digital features such boon-tech launches Rebel, a compact digital fnishing systemas status indicators, neuron microchip network system, digital AC/DC converter and data logging. It brings added value for retroft located away from the press and exits through the UV lampheads purpose. The NX series offers balance of a high max peak irradiance for quiet operation. According to GEW, the remote positioning and a signifcant dose, works without chiller and air duct system.of the fan avoids common problems caused by ink mist and dust ingress, while large air flters reduce the flter replacement Innovia Films has launched a new high yield, matte white, cycle. There is no need for integrated fans or electronics in the 60 micron in-mold-label flm with high opacity. When used individual lampheads, which eliminates the high-pitched noise on small-to-medium size, PP or PE containers, an all-polyolefn and contamination issues that these bring. mono-material container can be produced. This enables the fnal pack to be fully recyclable, meeting the Plastic Recyclers Europe Glunz & Jensen has launched a new family of exposure units for packaging design recommendations. QB is a cavitated, white fexo and letterpress plates, also in multifunctional confguration gloss flm for pressure sensitive labeling applications, which (i.e., exposure, dryer, and light fnisher in one unit). The equipment has a coating receptive surface on one side. This flm is EU food series, FlexiPose 360, FlexiPose 470, FlexiPose 520, expose analog contact compliant. and digital plates in all the standard sizes available up to 52 x 80in. The design has improved over the previous generation by IST Metz has introduced modulux LED, a new spin-off brand introducing innovations such as full remote support for both focusing on modular LED systems for narrow or mid-web presses. diagnostics and future frmware updates.
