The P7E will allow converters to expand into new markets, targeting entry level film and extended content applications, according to Mark Andy. The P5E is designed to increase converter profitability for the simplest to most complex label applications.

“The P5 and P7 have been best-selling models in the Performance Series line, based primarily on the versatility and productivity,” says Jeff Cowan, director – business development, Mark Andy. “The release of the P5E and P7E demonstrates updated servo architecture allowing for tighter registration and a complete redesign of the converting options all focused on providing a better operator experience."

The new P9E press is specifically designed for high-quality flexible packaging production, with larger volumes of shorter run lengths. Available in web widths up to 26 inch (660 mm), the flexo press is engineered as the ideal solution to print film, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging and foil lidding. Performance Series P9E is built standard with new servo-controlled impression adjustment, independent servo-driven anilox rolls and servo side adjust at print speeds up to 1,000 fpm. 

“Mark Andy has over 800 Performance Series installed worldwide,” says Cowan. “We continue to develop flexible printing solutions that allow our customers to evolve as their job mix changes. The Performance Series P9E is an extension of our commitment and solves the pain points narrow web converters are facing plus the growing demand for shrink.”

P9E, P7E and P5E models are offered alongside the well-known P3 and P4 press models, designed for the everyday converter’s book of pressure sensitive prime label business.
