Czech Republic based
Soma has launched Optima,
its new mid-web flexo press
developed especially for
short run jobs such as wrap
around labels, shrink
sleeves, sachets and various
pouches.
Soma produces
flexographic printing
presses, slitter rewinders
and laminators used K 2019
as the platform for the
formal launch of the nextgeneration
Optima press. Its
first generation has earned
a reputation as an easy to
operate flexo press for short
runs with many installations
around the world.
The next-generation
Optima is now available in a
41.3in width and 25.6in
length and has been
developed for short runs,
handling up to 20 jobs a day.
It focuses on features that
offer easy and fast job
changeovers, print
consistency and reduction in
operating costs.
Additionally, Optima can
now be installed with the
Arun system for automatic
job setting, a unique off-line
solution that combines the
advantages of a plate
mounter with a fully
automated device for plate
topography and register
measurement. The new Zero
Meter waste set-up system
helps with short runs.
Soma also added new ink
cartridge which enables spot
colour printing and the
operational cleanup as
efficient as possible. It uses
between one and five liters
in the inking loop as well as
short ink hoses to
significantly reduce residual
ink.
The modular design lets
printers build several
combinations of face-to-face
single shaftless, nonstop
flying splice, or cantilevered
flying splice winders.
