Here at DPI Direct, we are always on the lookout for game-changers in the industry. In the labels and packaging division, that’s exactly what we’ve found with our new flexo press from Edale.
Why Edale? We think Matt Teeter, VP of Labels & Packaging, says it best: “We were looking for as much automation as possible. Big names in the U.S. weren’t doing what Edale is.” In other words, we wanted AIIR.
Autonomous Inking, Impression and Registration, or AIIR, reduces operator input to increase speed and output quality. With this camera-based technology, Edale is able to “guarantee a level of registration not yet seen in a single pass”. For more information, check out this video of an FL5 with AIIR technology:
Other highlights:
- Expanded capabilities thanks to hybrid rotary and semi-rotary
- Less clean up and waste due to UV inks
- Increased print width from 10 to 16.6 inches
The Edale FL3 will be the first of its kind in the United States.
