Sandip Bajaj of Jupiter Laminators of Sonipat, Haryana, signed a deal to buy the Bobst M6 Line – the UV digital flexo press for food packaging, while Deepak Duggal of Kap Cones, who closed the Omet XFlex X6 deal yesterday, also signed for the Bobst M6 Line – the UV digital flexo press for food packaging, with minor tweaks to the configuration.
 
Coming back to Bobst Firenze at Labelexpo, the company showcased the M4 and M6 UV flexo presses driven by the Revo digital flexo system. Every two hours, a completely new set of seven extended colour gamut plates, mounted on printing sleeves were printing live print jobs. 
 
d'Annunzio in his presentations conveyed that “one could make plate changes without having to stop the press” with the Revo digital flexo, a collaborative programme between eight industry players which was unveiled last year. These players are AVT, Adare, Apex, Dupont, Esko, Flint, Bobst (then Gidue) and UPM Raflatac. “Catering to short run jobs by quick job change over and colour management, is now achievable because of this the Revo programme,” suggested D’Annunzio. Of course, one will need advanced colour management techniques to enable achieve the extended colour gamut.
 
Rahul Kumar, associate editor of PrintWeek India, who witnessed the Revo presentation, said, “From what we saw, it was certainly a fine demonstration of how flexo technology can work to challenge digital presses.”
