  By rsekhose | November 26, 2011 - 1:32 am | Digital Printing Leave a comment

Konica Minolta C6000The latest high speed production printers doing the rounds at Konica are the C6000/C7000 digital printers. The C6000 is a 60 pages per minute printer like the LD 6501 but with a higher resolution of 1200 dpi. That means that this printer will produce better quality and finer dots than the LD 6501. The price is around 22 lakhs (Rs. 22,00,000/-) and the cost of printing per copy is around Rs.5/- per sheet of super A3 size (13×19 inches) excluding paper. The C7000 is a slighter higher priced model because the speed is more at 70 pages per minute; otherwise the specifications are the same for both the models. These two printers are quite robust and sturdy and can handle the toughest of jobs in a demanding printing environment.

Macro Bond 1020Coimbatore-based manufacturer, Marco Print Engineers India (MPEI) had launched its Macrobond Sheet Master 1020 (30 inch x 40 inch) fully  automatic thermal laminating machine with hot water circulating heat technology in 2008. The machine was exhibited by MPEI at a global platform during Drupa 2008. It was later upgraded to provide a combination of thermal and wet lamination along with auti-feeder and auto-sheetre. Managing director, P . Veeramuthu, says: “Over the past five years more and more printers have been bringing laminating in-house in an effort to save money and generate new income streams. Automation of the machine has been designed keeping in mind the lack of skilled labour and lady personnel engaged on the shopfloor.”

Combo lamination: thermal and wet. The machine is capable of handling jobs in the size ranging from a minimum 300x20mm to a maximum of 1020x760mm for a paper range of 90-650 gsm.It has a vaccum table conveyor for accurate feeding and adjustable de-curl bar for different thickness of paper apart from an inline aheet separator. Veeramuthu says: “It provides thermal lamination at the speeds of 4,000 sheets per hour and wet lamination at 6,000 sheets per hour. The kit has a production capacity of 40 metres per minute ad is adoptable for films of up to even microns.” With a warm up time of 30 minutes the machine consumes 16KW power at a compressed air requirement of 250 to 350 litres per minute. The machine achieves a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees through circilating oil or water as its heating elements.  “The spares and accessories incorporated in Macrobond Sheet Master 1020 are in collaboration with European companies, which are tested and proven in worldwide market,” adds Veeramuthu. The hot water circulating system is from Tool Temp Switzerland whereas the sensor is German made. The machine has a UK made variable drive to control the speed.
