The machine’s ability to deliver results even at high speeds, the state-of-the-art automation and integration capabilities along with precise quality monitoring systems served as a backbone to achieve this target. All of this, in combination, facilitates in printing high deckle size (1,300 mm) giving excellent print registration results in addition to high-speed operation at 500 mpm.
