At Drupa 2016 OMET will present the new Varyflex offset printing unit with 850 web width

Efficiency, speed, quality and flexibility: these are the key characteristics of the new Varyflex V2 Offset 850 that OMET will present at Drupa 2016.

For over 60 years Drupa has been showcasing the industry’s trends, defining technical innovations and technology improvements that will leave their mark for years to come. In occasion of the 2016 edition of the most important international trade fair of the graphic art industry, OMET will present the new Varyflex V2 Offset 850 with Electron Beam drying system: a machine designed and built for the packaging sector, created to make the most of offset printing units with sleeve system patented by OMET in combination with flexo printing units, to guarantee always the best performance with all types of materials, even with combined printing.

High quality and high printing speed are guaranteed also by the BroadBeam drying system developed by PCT Engineered Systems, the USA’s leading company in Electron Beam technology development. The drying system of the new Varyflex V2 Offset 850 uses a beam made of electrons to fix the colour evenly on the entire surface of the substrate, avoiding overheating, more quickly and with reduced energy consumption compared to other UV drying systems. More importantly it can be used to print materials for the food industry.
OMET, a company that designs and builds automated machines, having established itself in the last decade as the world’s leading producer of narrow web platform machines for label printing, enters decisively the packaging press market with the new Varyflex V2 Offset.

OMET's experience and expertise in designing and producing printing presses, supported by a technology partner such as PCT Engineered Systems, has produced an extremely versatile, efficient and technically advanced printing machine. Thanks to the reduced cost of printing plates and quick job changing times, Varyflex V2 850 Offset is the ideal printing press for the flexible packaging industry, able to meet the market need to maximise pack value. A modular machine that combines flexo and offset printing, with the opportunity for further customization.
