The Nilpeter Bell
rang 24 times, each time one of the Nilpeter presses was sold at Labelexpo
Europe 2013. Receiving its
European debut was the sleeve-based FA-4 for high-end labels and packaging, and
the high-performance FB-3 UV-flexo press delivering the highest level of print
reproduction as well as unparalleled registration performance. The new MO-5
offset platform, a wider 520 mm-version for labels and package printing, also
created much interest among the premium-quality converters in Brussels.
Nilpeter also
experienced a strong interest for the new inline Quick-Change magnetic
die-module, the QC-Die. Recently developed, the system allows operators to
ergonomically change cylinders in less than 10 seconds, which was demonstrated
time and again during the show. Solid die-cutting cylinders can also be
incorporated. Another attraction was the inline flatbed unit for hot foil and
embossing unit, the FP-4, and the inline gravure unit for printing metallic
inks and other coatings, the G-4.
Jakob Landberg, Sales
& Marketing Director, says, “Two years ago there was less hype and it was
not such an exciting exhibition. Now the hype is back and the show is vibrant
and positive. This year we have had customers come on the stand and have
enthusiastically made a purchasing decision on the spot. Instead of
concentrating solely on efficiency, the accent this year has been capacity.
Heavy metal is back!”
