Reprocad takes on short-run personalised packaging machine

Reprocad is distributing the Rigoli MVZ 1000, a roll-to-roll, wide web, single-pass, inkjet printer powered by Memjet and designed for flexible packaging applications.

The MVZ 1000 can support media widths of up to 1,067mm and 1,000m in length, and produces 1600 x 1600dpi printing resolution at up to 9m/min, or 1600 x 800dpi at 18m/min, with 1.2pl drop size. The printer includes an unwinder (with loader) and rewinder that can accommodate jumbo rolls. The rewinding options are printed-side up or printed-side down to improve efficiency. The MVZ 1000 printers can be installed inline with other finishing equipment, including cutting, and laminating systems as well as packaging and filling equipment. It will be demonstrated by Rigoli and Reprocad at the upcoming Ipack-IMA Show, 29 May - 1June, in Milan. “Digital technology gives true on-demand print, and the MVZ 1000 printer can produce personalised packing with - in extreme cases - a different image on each package! It can cope with this via its internal software menu system,” said Reprocad MD Peter Barton. “We are excited to be bringing this game-changing printer to a market worth over $13bn.”
