The difference between F&K and other presses is theamount of waste we don’t generate during set-ups.We offer about 45 feet of run-out per set-up— vs —What did you say you’re wasting now?Establishing press settings & registration on a conventional flexopress is done while running. This wastes substrate, ink, energy and,just as importantly, time. Given that each and every job changerequires a set-up, multiply that waste by how many changes youmake in a day, in a week, in a year and the losses are staggering.F&K flexo presses cut that waste. In fact with our smart GPSsystem of setting register and impression settings before thecylinders are even put on the press, waste can be cut by 90% or more.Our presses are also designed for modern plants where space is at a premium and efficiency is a primary concern. For example, ourface-to-face design option enables both the unwind & rewind to be accessed and monitored from one central position. The highly efficientweb path also minimizes the height requirement.Exceptional performance and featuresfor a remarkably reasonable price.Every aspect of an F&K press is state-of-the-art, except theprice. We’ve addressed operator and maintenance accessibility, operate at high speeds and workwith a wide range of substrates to give you more flexibility and maximimum potential. It’s premiumF&K performance and quality at a highly <strong>com</strong>petitive price.Talk F&K with your Bobst representative and learn more about staying <strong>com</strong>petitive byreducing waste, maximizing run-time and using technology to stay ahead.Bobst Group North America, Inc. 146 Harrison Avenue, Roseland, NJ 07068 -1294 Tel: 888-226-8800
