Rotary Screens for Label Printing

Rotary screen printing is based on patented SPGPrints screen technology. These screens are 100% nickel solid mesh material, manufactured by electro forming. Its unique hexagonal mesh structure creates outstanding stability, enabling screens to be used for extended runs in both narrow, mid and wide web printing.

Economical operation at high production speeds

The Marble module is capable of operating at line speeds in excess of 125m/min. And exchanging screens and squeegees is accomplished in minutes, without the need for mechanical or electrical adjustments. All to ensure that downtime between jobs is kept at a minimum. When a machine is stopped, the Marble module switches to a slow- rotation stand-by mode. This greatly reduces the risk of ink dripping, and helps to keep the substrate in a clean state until production is resumed. When the press is started, the Marble module quickly reverts back to the correct register position automatically. That means you will waste less substrate, use less ink per meter and print more labels.

  • Rotary Screen Integration (RSI) multiple available widths

    The SPGPrints’ print module is the perfect complement to your combination (UV) press and is available in 10″, 13″, 16″, 20″, 24″, 26″, 600mm, 720mm, 820mm and 900mm width.

  • By printing higher deposits and larger particles, SPGPrints’ versatile Rotary Screen

    Integration (RSI) technology enables you to deliver special effects and offer extra functionality that cannot be achieved by any other printing process.

  • Rapid, reliable and economical production

    Rapid, reliable and economical production of the ‘no-label look’, metallic colours, strong opaques, tactile warning symbols, special varnishes, scratch-off inks and other effects are all possible with SPGPrints’ market-leading RSI rotary screen technology.

Boosting productivity even further

To boost productivity even further, and make sure the Marble module fits your production workflow there are
several options available:

  • Automatic ink level control: maintains a constant ink level inside the screen and thereby ensures optimal consistency of the printed result.
  • Automatic registration system: maintains print accuracy throughout the production run
  • ATEX certification: optional version to ensure safe operation in environments where solvent-based of special purpose inks are used.

    • Marble: self-contained single colour printing unit

    The Marble using RSITM technology is a self- contained single colour printing unit, available in a choice of widths and incorporating intelligent control for problem free line synchronization. A Squeegee (1) transfers ink (2) through the mesh openings in the nickel rotary screen (3) onto the substrate (4), which is held in place by an impression roller (5). The screen, substrate and impression roller all move at the same speed, creating a ‘frictionless’ print system. The SPGPrints Marble module is designed to integrate onto your existing existing press, for the production of labels or other functional applications. You can either integrate directly onto your already installed press, or order a pre-integrated system through one of our OEM partners. Both options are fully supported by SPGPrints training and service.
