SOMA has developed the Optima flexo press to meet growing opportunities for mid web printing. The press is optimized for short run, high quality printing and maximum customization. The Optima machine has a remarkable speed of 300m/min, obtaining a consistent printing outcome; that reaches 320/820 mm print width. Additionally, the machine covers a print repeat jobs of 240/260 mm, and up to 5 slit rolls, the advantage of the Optima machine is that it could be operated by only one person, in addition to a unique cartridge ink saving system.
Optima is equipped with eight printing units and features fast web change over for reverse printing, intelligent impression adjustment to reduce start up waste and SOMA’s new, award winning print Ink cartridge system for spot colors. The system offers printers a means of significantly reducing ink cost on printing jobs where expensive spot colors; special effect and metallic ink formulations are required.
More commonly perceived as a wide web press manufacturer, Soma has developed the Optima as a mid web CI press optimized to run label stock paper and film packaging materials, and to bridge the gap between narrow and wide web printing for products such as in-mold and wraparound labels, shrink sleeves, retort stand-up pouches and sachets, as well as paper sacks, cups and plates.
