PrintEx: Four pillars hold up Böttcher stand

Böttcher Systems will show off its Print Pro range on stand I37 at PrintEx, which it says supports all “four pillars” of its business: carton packaging, HUV-LED, flexible packaging, and commercial print.

The Easy Clean Surface (ECS) roller series will be a centrepiece of Böttcher’s stand. Aimed at packaging and HUV-LED printers, managing director Mitch Mulligan says these rollers boast a long and stable life, and that their surface is made of a special compound that enables a fast release of ink, paper and dust in colour change washes.

“One of the key attributes of these rollers is their ability to make fast colour changes because of the unique surface. They’re very easy to clean, in layman’s terms – it’s a new milestone of innovation applicable to the carton and HUV printers,” says Mulligan.

Also on the stand will be the BöttcherTop NewUV HUV/LED blanket technology, and the BöttcherTop 1001 coating plate for water-based and UV varnishes. This plate is suitable for embellishment applications, according to Mulligan, and is aimed at commercial and carton packaging printers.

“Our coating plates are a first in class tailored solution for those two segments, offering some really unique fine detail in their coating application. They also have technology that allows them to be stripped more easily,” he says.
