Bobst has announced the launch of a brand-new CI flexo press. The Vision CI is designed to deliver the most efficient performance for all production lengths on a wide range of substrates.
Fast to setup and change over, it features technical innovations and automation that ensure repeatable process consistency, minimum waste and easy manufacturing. The new CI flexo press is suitable for converters looking to add a powerful and reliable production tool to their operation.
“With the Vision CI, Bobst has truly delivered on its Vision for the future of CI flexo press printing,” said Mark McInulty, managing director CI flexo printing. “It combines the very latest cutting-edge technology with the highest manufacturing standards at the best price/performance ratio, putting premium print quality, reliability and highest standards of efficiency at the fingertips of converters everywhere.”
The Vision CI is available as an initially 8-color press and provides consistent and repeatable printing quality with solvent-based and water-based ink printing, on a wide range of substrates types and thicknesses. What’s more, it has a compact and ergonomic, modular design, making installation and set-up very easy.
“From the moment the machine arrives, it can be installed and ready to print at the site in a matter of four weeks,” said McInulty. “Its compact dimensions will save valuable space, and its smart ergonomic design will ensure the operator a convenient, intuitive and fast operation. The Vision CI will bring outstanding accuracy and repeatability of performance in terms of output quality and waste-saving operation to a wider number of flexible packaging printing operations.”
The Vision CI also brings sustainability benefits. It contains ‘smartHEAT’ technology, which enables the machine to use its own heat as an internal and useful energy source, while its ‘smartCLEAN’ technology saves on ink and solvents. Furthermore ‘smartKEY’ and ‘smartSET’ will maximize machine productivity through minimizing job set-up time and material waste.
