During the open house, the visitors can see the high-performance Concepta printing press and the VSOP in action, as well as attend talks and exchange experiences with print specialists.

Today, Muller Martini Printing Presses with its web printing presses is a strong partner for the paper market (pharmaceutical inserts, security printing, mail shots, forms), as well as cardboard box printing, label printing on a wide range of substrates, and flexible package printing.

Concepta and VSOP for flexibility
Muller Martini currently offers four presses - the Alprinta and the Concepta produce high-quality mail shots, commercial work, security printing materials and pharmaceutical inserts, while the Alprinta V and the infinitely variable VSOP are ideal for printing labels, flexible packaging and cardboard.

Live demos at the open house event will allow visitors to see for themselves that the Concepta’s intelligent software provides for short setup times and little production waste. The infinitely variable VSOP will be used to demonstrate how quick changeovers to new sizes can be. That is especially important in flexible package printing, because runs are decreasing in size owing to the rapidly growing variety of end products.

Web offset enables diverse inline procedures, such as offset towers, flexo and rotogravure printing units, screen printing unit, perforation with die-cutting and punching, delivery for roll, signature and fold, cross cutting and folding modules, register control, video belt monitoring, and UV drying. Muller Martini combines all these processes in one machine providing high production speeds and perfect printing quality.

Fit for the future with web offset
Bernd Sauter, managing director, Muller Martini Printing Presses, said, “Printing presses from Muller Martini stand for first-class printing quality, and have a particularly high degree of availability thanks to simple changeovers. Our print specialists will demonstrate that at our open house event, and will be delighted to provide advice and engage in discussions with visitors.”

Thanks to its modular design, printing plants can configure a web printing press from Muller Martini to suit their needs optimally and extend it in the future in order to enter new business segments. “Variable web offset, in particular, opens up many new perspectives,” says Sauter.

From pre-press to finished product
In addition to the live demos, visitors can listen to exciting specialist talks and engage in discussions about offset printing as an interesting and profitable technology (especially in the packaging segment), variable sleeve offset printing, composite materials in offset printing, as well as commercial printing, security printing and pharmaceutical printing in general, where nothing is more important than 100% reliability.

An in-house trade fair with table top presentations of over 20 exhibiting partner companies from the fields of pre-press, automation, drying, printing control and quality systems, finishing, and substrates and consumables will top off the two-day open house event.
