For Short Run Jobs with 5-6 Colour Printing,Increase Plate Mounting Speed of Pre-Press by
A Saudi corrugated carton customer faced costly downtime because their pre-press department couldn’t mount printing plates fast enough for high-graphics, short-run jobs. Delays and registration errors caused machine idling and material waste. The Optimount 3000 semi-automatic mounting machine solved this by delivering 100% accurate plate registration and boosting mounting speed by 60–70%. Integrated with Esko’s Plate Patcher software, it allows combining smaller design blocks on Mylar, saving up to 20% in plate costs. This solution improved productivity, ensured perfect alignment for multi-color printing, reduced waste, and increased profitability by enabling fast, precise plate mounting for demanding print runs.

NO SPLICE BREAKAGE EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS Case StudyCorrugator plants using 2.5+ meter machines struggled with splice breakage during auto roll changeovers at speeds over 200 meters per minute. Even a single splice failure cut daily productivity by 10%. To address this, a special 50mm Nitto splicing tape was introduced, delivering strong, reliable splices even on recycled papers with rough surfaces and low contact area. This solution enables consistent, high-speed corrugation without web breakups. As a result, operators and plant managers enjoy higher productivity, smoother production runs, and peace of mind, ensuring efficient output on wide corrugators from brands like BHS, Mitsubishi, Fosber, and ISOWA.
