Flatbed screenprinting

Smag Graphique (represented in Italy by GIS Sas, Milan) presented its new high-speed semi-rotary flatbed screen printing station, that operates at speeds of up to 30 m/min.

Placed on show at Labelexpo Europe operating mono-color on a Digital Galaxie in conjunction with a flexo station and a semi-rotary die cutting station, the system offers a number of advantages to label converters producing short runs.
Compared to rotary screens flatbed screens can be prepared in-house and offer greater ink density, opacity and higher definition images. Other production benefits include the ability to extend run lengths and turn around more jobs.
