Mark Andy Press: Tension Control Upgrade

The ability for a press to compete with the latest models on the market comes down to its capabilities.

New presses can run unsupported films and run much faster than previous models. This places pressure on printers to upgrade presses and often, current order levels can't justify a large investment in a new press.

Montalvo has become known for enhancing a press' capabilities and enabling printers and label makers to effectively compete in a highly competitive market.

Montalvo's web and tension control systems enable your press to:

  • Compete with the latest presses
  • Run lighter substrates
  • Run unsupported films
  • Achieve Faster Line Speeds
  • Improve Registration
  • Reduce Waste
  • All for a fraction of the cost of a new press

Featured Mark Andy 4120 Upgrade

The market has been driven to print on materials that simply weren't demanded when the printing press was designed. The braking system was designed to handle materials that were common when this model was in production but now, the following factors have posed limitations on the presses capabilities:

  • Residual drag in the magnetic braking system
  • A dancer without a sufficient response rate
  • Limited speed and torque range in the braking system

A Montalvo Upgrade eliminates these limitations!
