Multiprocess printing
(flexography, rotogravure and screen printing)
OMET Varyflex VF430 Multiprocess Printing Press
This narrow web label press with servomotors allows you to swap printing processes and drying / curing methods between all units to get the desired sequence to meet test requirements. This vital R&D tool is also used for flexographic printability testing and the development and industrialization of applications in printed electronics that are produced with multiple printing processes.
- 5 printing stations
- Processes: flexography (5 units), rotogravure (2 units) or rotary screen printing (2 units): one or more processes can be installed inline during a test
- Inks: UV-curable, water-based, solvent based (our press is explosion proof)
- 5 hot air-drying stations, 2 hot air rotogravure ovens, 3 UV lamps
- Print repeat: 406.4 to 610 mm (16 to 24 po, flexo)
- Width: up to 425 mm (16 ¾ po)
- Substrates: paper, cardboard, plastic film, aluminum foil, multi-layer between 12 microns (½ mil, film) and 600 microns (24 pt, board)
- Inline finishing: cutting, lamination, sheeting and slitting
- Speed: 10 to 200 m/min (660 fpm)
- Various types of anilox available (volumes between 2.2 bcm/1120 Lpi and 50 bcm/40 Lpi)
- Flexo plates, print cylinders or rotary screens, adaptable to requirements

Offset printing
The ICI’s offset presses support printability testing of coated and uncoated paper (on rolls or in sheets), and cardboard. The choice of offset inks, the printing and the content of the test form are adjusted to the properties of the substrate and the objectives of the test. The tests can be evaluated by visual analyses on press or by laboratory measurements.
Complementary analyses for print performance evaluation of paper:
- Print quality from densitometric measures
- Gloss measurement
- Image analysis: quantification of mottle and print through
- Collection and measurement of lint on rotary press
- Collection and measurement of calcium carbonate on rotary press
