Variable Sleeve Offset Printing is a new technology which allows you
to work with variable sizes in offset. The sleeve technology lets you
easily change sizes without having to completely change the unit. Not
only is this easier and quicker, it is also a much cheaper way of
printing different repeat lengths.
Offset plates
Standard offset plates can be used. The offset plate combines high print quality with a very low cost.
The unique plate mounting system combines accurate plate positioning and very quick plate change with a very small
non printing zone. Normally plates with a thickness of 0,3 mm are used, but on request special
plate sleeves for other plate thicknesses can be offered.
Job change
Maximum press efficiency can be reached by preparing each print job off-press while the press is running. The quick change
over procedure and automatic presetting do the rest. Like any other function in the press the sleeves can be changed without the use
of any tool. Of course, numerous press settings can be stored in the on-press database for a possible repeat job.
Hybrid press
The FENGMING offers an enormous functionality and wide field of operation together with ultimate user-friendly and
ergonomic operation. In-line with the sleeve technology for offset a great number of other functions
such as flexo print, screen print, gravure print, digital print, hotfoil stamping, laminating, die cutting and sheeting
can be offered. With this new technology, only two lightweight sleeves need to be changed
when switching repeat lengths. The sleeve technology which has greatly contributed to the rise of flexo printing
has now entered the world of offset.
