the P9E with its independent servo driven anilox roll gives us more flexibility and higher production speeds across all substrates.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>Considered Mark Andy\u2019s flexo flagship, the P9E is almost 30% faster than P7 stablemate on the same job, according to Roscoe, making it a highly efficient production tool.\u00a0 Chosen initially for its ability to grow Berkshire\u2019s shrink sleeve business, the new press is in fact handling a good mix of work.\u00a0 Currently the volume of paper and film-based substrates used at Hungerford is roughly equal, with film growing faster, and although well equipped with digital print and converting technology, Berkshire Labels still estimates that flexo production accounts for 60% of its business.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-33130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mark-Andy-The-new-high-spec-P9-is-an-8-colour-UV-flexo-press-with-Mark-Andys-Filmic-Pack-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"244\" \/>The company invested heavily in Esko pre-press and installed the latest CERM platform to which all machines are linked.\u00a0 Everything is produced to full HD standard which allows Roscoe and his production team to choose between flexo and digital production purely on machine availability. \u00a0\u00a0He says that some customers specify which technique they require for their job, but most do not, and many could not tell the difference as far as quality is concerned.\u00a0 <em>\u201cOur aim was to match quality across digital and flexo and we have been successful in achieving that.\u00a0 It allows us to support our small start-up customers, like micro-breweries and artisan food producers, and grow with them as they become bigger, it\u2019s win-win for both parties!\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>Berkshire Labels\u2019 new P9E is a highly specified model, featuring eight UV flexo print stations, Corona treatment and web cleaning, delam\/relam, a crossover facility for peel\/reseal, and the full \u2018Filmic Pack\u2019, which includes chilled impression drums and lightweight tension control.\u00a0 It also has Mark Andy\u2019s award-winning QCDC unit and the web advance waste rewind, <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-33131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mark-Andy-The-P9-is-fitted-with-a-Corona-Treater-and-Web-Cleaner-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" \/>known colloquially as \u2018snowball\u2019.\u00a0 Since installation it has allowed the company to switch from 24\/7 working on the P7 to double day shifts on both machines, with capacity to spare.\u00a0 <em>\u201cWe saw the benefits of having two \u00a0\u00a0P Series immediately, they give us better control of scheduling and shift planning as well as making routine maintenance easier,\u201d<\/em> explained Roscoe who pointed out that his P7 was producing more than 1.3m metres\/month prior to the arrival of the P9E.<\/p>\n<p>Berkshire Labels is currently employing 90 staff and generates an annual sales figure in excess of \u00a311m.
