Other Machinery
In addition to Kirk Rudy's extensive product range and ancilliary mailing ⁄ inkjet equipment, Inkjet & Printing Supplies also deal with much larger machinery:
Melzer Maschinenbau
Melzer is a privately owned company founded in 1956, with more than 70 employees.
Data Carriers
A data carrier is a card that consists of paper, cardboard or compound material and carrier readable or encoded information. The importance of the various data carriers for a trouble-free daily life is reflected in the sales of the traditional Melzer lines. Hundreds of their machines produce many different products, for example:- Car parking tickets
- ATB boarding passes
- Metro Tickets
- Highway Tickets
ISO-Cards
Depending on the combination of the modules you choose, MELZER lines are capable of producing all types of ISO plastic cards:- mono-layer cards with magnetic stripe or laminated multi-layer cards
- telephone cards
- micro-chip module or bank and credit cards
- contactless chip cards
- CombiCards (Dual Interface Cards)
Special Labels
The number of applications for data carriers and plastic cards is high, however, the range of special labels is even wider. It is nearly impossible to name all application possibilities. The market for these labels is ranging from horticultural labels to medical plasters and packaging, metal or plastic baggage tags up to name plates, sticking pads, security plates and foils, electronic circuit board (ECB) connections, smart labels as well as stop loss and security labels, decoration foils and adhesive labels.
Omet Srl
OMET's range of narrow web printing presses are suitable for many materials, from paper to self-adhesive paper, from thick film plastic to folded carton.
Flexy - Narrow web flexographic printing of labels and flexible packaging materials
Flexy is the new Omet narrow-web flexographic printing machine, reduced in size, designed for label production and for printing and converting flexible packaging materials. It is a modular in-line machine built on a skeleton frame, foreseen in two versions with hot-air or UV FLEXO printing units. Thanks to extractable and interchangeable inking cassettes it is possible to perform extremely fast job changes. Ergonomic and easy to handle, thanks to only one sliding control panel, Flexy is equipped with a series of advanced technical solutions, which make it a unique machine in its field.Flexy S - Electronic version with brushless servomotors
Flexy S is the new electronic, brushless servomotor variant of the Flexy. With two servomotors for each printing unit - a specific one for the plate-holding axis and another one for the printing unit (counter roll, cooling cylinder, anilox roll, rubber roll) - it is possible to print at an infinitesimally changeable pitch and have a better control on the print register thanks to the encoder resolution on the same axis as the motor.Varyflex FP - The ideal solution to print plastic film and labels
The tension-control system "Multitension" and the cooling drums ensure a perfect draw stability even on plastic materials having a thickness up to 12 micron (BOPP) on Varyflex FP. The gearless system allows printing formats from 2" to 33" with intermediate pitches that can be infinitesimally changed. Moreover, Varyflex FP is provided with the system to change anilox rolls and ink basin rapidly, with the possibility to prepare jobs outside the machine as well as the sleeve printing unit (printing plates are directly assembled on sleeves, light and easy to be transported) with 2 independent motors, the rapid replacement system, the automatic pre-register and the innovative integrated register control.Varyflex FC - Printing on folding carton has never been so easy
Varyflex FC is the first machine for in-line flexo print on folding carton without gears on the printing-plate (gearless system). No adjustment is required on changing the features of the printing support thanks to the direct drive. Varyflex FC is equipped with printing units having 2 independent motors and inking cassette that can be removed from the machine and interchanged among the various printing units. The integral application of sleeves (printing plates are directly assembled on sleeves, light and easy to be transported) along with the system of rapid replacement in the elements simplifies and makes job changes faster. Varyflex FC offers the opportunity of using different types of UV inks (water-based and solvent-based inks) with the possibility of having combined drying units. The converting unit has been expressly conceived, as to its dimensions and functionality, to convert folding carton and not as a simple derivation of traditional units to print labels. Automatic pre-register is an integrated solution in the standard version. All exclusive design solutions offering these advantages are covered by OMET patent.
