Description

Improvement through Innovation

MPS improves the printing process and customer experience through product innovation.

MPS was one of the first companies to provide innovative technologies for direct-drive machines and has patented a wide range of its innovative designs. Our design philosophy is simple with three basic guidelines:

 

1. Quality

Print quality must be consistent and deliver an outstanding print quality, assuring our customer requirements and expectations are always met.

 

2. Productivity

The press must be extremely productive, up-time maximal, and operation should be trouble-free. Our goal is maximize waste savings and achieve highest productivity levels.

 

3. Flexibility

Flexibility must be built-in with every press: to handle a wide range of materials, to use the best print technology, and to adapt to current and future markets. With this design philosophy the press will prove its value long into the future.

 

These basic guidelines helped MPS to develop presses equipped with cutting edge innovations and the products that are available to the high quality label printer include the EFS, EFA, EF-Symjet, EXL-Offset and EXL-Packaging printing machines.

EF-Symjet

The Hybrid Printing Solution

The EF SYMJET press is a hybrid flexo inkjet solution that gives converters a range of new print potential with the symbiotic combination of conventional - and digital printing technologies. The EF SYMJET flexo press is built with the standard MPS EF platform and an integrated Domino digital N610i inkjet printer. With a Domino digital inkjet unit integrated on the EFS or EFA flexo platform, you get the best of both worlds together in a future-proof solution. The established flexo press and proven digital system can be combined and used integrated in-line or separately to work offline.

This hybrid solution combines the best of conventional solutions, digital technology and operator focus that MPS is known for.

MPS partnered with industry-leading brands to develop several new technology add-ons and solutions for its new hybrid press.

EXL-Offset

The Offset Combination Press

 

The revolutionary EXL-offset press, with offset sleeve combination printing, is the most versatile press available in the market. It offers variable sleeves for different repeat lengths, for both plates and blankets, and is easy to operate.

All inking and press settings of the EXL-offset machine are effectively automated with the innovative APC (Automated Print Control) technology from MPS.

The MPS EXL-offset press is a true innovation providing reliable quality and productivity that delivers high quality labels and packaging jobs very effectively, even in smaller print runs.

An important advantage of offset technology is the relatively low costs for the production of plates. The combination of very fine tones in application with solids, texts and fine lines, gives offset a very prominent position in terms of quality. A further benefit of using offset technology is the fact that screen-count can become much narrower, 200 screen lines per inch are not exceptional for offset, neither is the even finer FM-screening. These technology characteristics can become decisive in the highly competitive packaging print market.

MPS. Operator Focused, Results Driven.

The world-renown MPS printing presses feature a solid and highly advanced design that comprises only quality components. The result is a performance level that few can match. This means that the initial investment required for an MPS printing press is immediately translated into a drastic reduction in printing costs compared to other systems. In other words, the purchase price of an MPS machine is recovered within a limited period, thanks to the smooth functioning of machines that are less prone to error and, equally as important, thanks to the intelligent and highly efficient and simple operating techniques.

MPS applies printing technology that results in less loss of valuable production hours and less waste of costly materials. The result is the ability to produce greater quantities at lower costs in the same amount of time and without compromising on quality. What MPS offers is maximum productivity. And the MPS printing presses prove time and again that quality and economics are paramount. If you consider all production factors and add up the results, you'll arrive at the only possible conclusion; an MPS press is the BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
