The 55 years old company demonstrated the new machine at their stall. Speaking to PrintWeek India, Gaurav Sachdev of Standard Printers Providers, said, “Today, customers are looking for all in one pass technology and this press is suitable for such requirements.”

STF 340 is a multi-purpose flexo press, which can handle paper, films and light cartons. The machine is equipped with a host of finishing options such as cold-foiling, screen printing and inkjet heads for digital printing.

Besides STF 340, the company also demonstrated TFS-II, the web offset press with inkjet printing heads especially for printing for business forms.

“The Chinese technology is suitable for medium-size investments and hence China Print has attracted huge crowds. The feedback has been very positive and we hope to generate business using this opportunity to exhibit at the show,” concluded Sachdev.
