Spanish label converter Mirmar SA has confirmed its intention to add a second Mark Andy Digital Series HD inkjet/flexo hybrid following a highly productive year with the first machine installed at its Valencia headquarters in 2023. The new machine will be one of the new 17-inch DSHD HighSpeed 1200 hybrids launched recently at Labelexpo Americas in Chicago.
Established in 1989 and still owned and managed by the Mir family, Mirmar began life producing labels for the food industry. Mirmar began with 10-inch water-based 4120 and 4150 presses before moving to 13-inch web widths and now to 17 inch. Today it has six of the Performance Series P5 and P7 flexo lines ranging from 6 to 10 colors.
Developed in-house by Mark Andy and based on the Performance Series all-servo flexo platform, the DSHD is a highly configurable production tool that combines 1200dpi UV-inkjet with flexo printing and inline embellishment and converting operations for single-pass production.
