IPEX 2006 — EYEING THE LATEST PRODUCTS

Accessorizing a Press

Several industry trends are resulting in greater demand for press accessories, Puehringer says. Increasing use of customization/versioning requires more press cleaning with shorter runs. Similarly, the wider range of consumables used means more web cleaning is required.

At IPEX, Baldwin will be introducing its new Flex and CleanLiner technology for automatic blanket cleaning on web presses at high speeds. It enables a printer to operate in either dry cloth or solvent modes, with enhanced cloth and fluid management features.
