Bobst will bring to the forefront the advantages of high automation and production of short runs of challenging applications and trending label specialties through the demonstrations of its M5 printing and converting line that will be run seven times a day on its stand B12 in Hall 1 at Labelexpo India 2018.

The M5 is a full servo inline UV flexo press able to process basically any type of substrates used in the production of labels and packaging. The configuration of the M5 on show features several digital technologies that are part of the Digital Automation programme. These include the REVO 7-color extended gamut printing delivering the assurance of color consistency, and the Digital Flexo and DigiGap systems for digitally automated print and diecutting pressure control and closed loop print quality/pdf control at all speeds.

According to the company, the M5 is a very easy to use press which does not need experienced operators: other than having to manually loading the cylinders for job changes, the M5 is run from a touchscreen. The live demonstrations will also highlight the capabilities provided by the M5 remote connectivity features to exploit data and further improve the production process and the pressroom efficiency.
