Cooper Flexopress Series II
The Ultimate Package Printing System
Managing stocks of printed packaging materials is a major problem. Sudden demands for changes in print style
can be impossible to anticipate and having to keep large warehouse stocks of packaging materials is expensive as well as inflexible.
Manufacturers of packaging materials, meanwhile, can have difficulty catering for short run orders on equipment primarily designed
for volume production
The Cooper Flexopress solves both these problems - simply and cost effectively. Designed for use by unskilled operators, the Cooper
Flexopress utilises industry-standard flexographic printing to offer the highest quality results - including fully scanable barcodes.
Packaging material users can simply buy unprinted stock and print what they need, when they need it, while packaging manufacturers
can produce top-quality printed materials profitably, even on low run orders.
The Cooper Flexopress is designed for ease of use. It features automatic sheet detection, running register adjustment and automatic
print cylinder throw-off to ensure fast and easy set-up times.
Using the Cooper Flexopress, the highest quality printing is now possible on a wide range of flat packaging substrates including:
collapsed corrugated cases, diecut cartons, solid board, correx, plywood, paper, polythene and woven polypropylene sacks and bags. The
machine can also be used for applying latex, PVA and UV Varnish.
Whether your need is to cut down stocks of printed packaging materials, cope with unexpected demands to change print styles, or to
offer your customers affordable short runs, the Cooper Flexopress is the ultimate packaging printing system!
The Range
The Cooper Flexopress is available in 800mm and 1100mm print widths and in 1 to 5 colour versions either manually or automatically
fed. For corrugated cartons a kick-feeder is offered, while for lightweight materials the Cooper Flexopress can be equipped with an optional suction feeder. Drying conveyors are available for plastics and other non-absorbent materials. The Cooper Flexopress can easily be upgraded with feeders and extra colour units after purchase.
Operation
Material is fed by hand or by suitable mechanical feeder to front lays. When the machine is ready to accept the workpiece, the front lays
drop allowing the material to enter the machine. Attached to the print cylinder is a rubber or photopolymer stereo inked by an engraved Anilox
roller immersed in a duct containing liquid ink. Ink metering is carried out with a rubber doctor roller. The stereo cylinder can be
adjusted to print anywhere on the sheet and all operator controls are easily accessible and simple to use.
