WEST HARTFORD, CT—New York printing company DWS Printing Associates announced the recent installation of an Omet X6 10-color flexo press purchased through Matik, Inc.
Celebrating its 150th year in business, DWS was in search of a solution to stay ahead of the times. The company’s Heidelberg XL 106 8-color UV press, referred to as “The Beast” by DWS employees, served well for a large portion of the 150 years, but it cannot offer a solution for every labeling challenge. DWS was in need of something that could increase output alongside the Heidelberg and, as in their words, “take us into the future, allowing us to fulfill the growing demand for roll fed and shrink sleeve solutions. We are proud to announce the arrival of our brand new Omet X6 10-color flexo press—which we fondly refer to as ‘Beauty’—the perfect counterpart.”
The OMET X6 10-color flexo press has several prominent features including, but not limited to, fully removable inking cassettes, a connection between the MIS system and press through transparent factory, and the ability to print using only 40-g. (8-oz.) of ink.
DWS feels it is “now fully ready to take on the growing shrink sleeve and roll fed label marketplace.”
