Other features on the press include cold foil unit, delam, relam, web turnbar, chill drums for priting upto 12 micron unsupported film, web cleaner, two stations of die-cutting, sheeter and conveyor.

The company has also opted for a 430 mm wide Vinsak USAR slitter rewinder to complement the press. Equipped with Lay on rollers and a dual rewind, this will be able to handle all the substartes that the Lombardi Synchroline can print.
