The Expert 8+2 colour gearless printing press is part of a well-known generation of modern CI flexographic printing machines designed for converters who require high print quality, efficiency and flexibility. Expert presses are recognised in the flexible packaging industry for their stable performance, consistent print results and durable construction. As a gearless model, this press benefits from precise servo-driven technology, which reduces mechanical wear and supports smooth operation even at higher production speeds.
This particular machine, built in 2011, offers a printing width of 1350 mm, making it suitable for a broad range of flexible packaging applications such as films, laminates and other web-based materials. One of its most notable technical features is the repeat length of up to 1100 mm, which is relatively high for machines in this category. This provides converters with extended production possibilities, especially for larger format designs or specialised packaging jobs that require more print length flexibility.
A major advantage of this model is the integrated 2-colour downstream flexo unit. This unit can be used not only for additional colour work but is also ideal for lacquering and applying various coatings, enhancing the versatility of the production process. Whether for spot applications, protective varnishes or simple two-colour add-ons, the downstream unit increases efficiency by reducing the need for separate finishing equipment.
Because of the combination of its wide web, long repeat capability and downstream lacquering functionality, this Expert 8+2 colour press is a rare and highly sought-after machine on the used market. It offers converters a unique opportunity to upgrade capacity with a reliable and multifunctional flexographic press.
