FEATURED INSTALLATIONItalian self-adhesive label converter RIBER Etichette srl has installed a new ten-color Synchroline 430 rotary flexo press plus two screen printing units from Lombardi Converting Machinery. Owners Paolo Rigato and Michele Bersi were looking for a reliable and productive flexo machine to address the needs of a new customer and saw the Synchroline at Labelexpo 2015. The owners verified that Lombardi is able to ensure a changeover in a few minutes due to a patented mechanical device that allows replacement of the print cylinder without requiring any changes to the supports. Says Paolo Rigato, "This machine we can consider in all respects the flagship for a company like ours, which in technology, has always chosen the best."
