It was clear to the event attendees that OMET Srl, the company known for “Innovation with Passion,” has succeeded once again in advancing the Offset Printing Industry. This time with a lower waste and cost printer, yielding higher efficiency.

OMET’s offset technology originated in 2008 with the first offset interchangeable cassettes; now seven years later, one of the many selling-points of their design is the ability to print variable sleeve repeats in widths of 670mm (26'') to 850mm (33'').
