Stic’ Image, a French label printer located near Lyon, has a Codimag Viva 420 press, a five colour rotary letterpress machine with an in-line flexo varnish station.
Michel Journois, of Stic’ Image, says: “The new press was the result of our on-going attempt to meet our customers’ and the market’s expectations. With the Viva 420 we can increase our productivity with larger width and longer repeats along with new technologies like servo motors.”
He adds: “Letterpress printing technology is well adapted to our main markets. It can compete easily with offset at a lower cost. With the Viva 420, we can compete against flexo with letterpress and at the same time develop new markets using the same well known printing technology.”
The Codimag press is promoted as an economical system to handle long runs, with a 420mm width and a 457mm maximum repeat. It has servo technology on all printing units, for “optimal quality with increased flexibility”. Extended automatic and remote control features, such as register and ink density adjustment can be controlled from the ‘user friendly’ central control panel. Intermittent technology features short makeready without having to switch cylinders for repeat size changes.
