Styers Equipment and Colordyne team up to perform Digital Flexo-bility upgrades

Press release from the issuing company

BROOKFIELD, WI - Styers Equipment has developed a strategic partnership with Colordyne Technologies (CDT) to perform installations for the Digital Flexo-bility™ upgrade program in North America. As a well-respected and experienced company in the printing press installation industry, Styers is a prime candidate to handle CDT's retrofit installations. 

This digital conversion program allows you to turn your existing press into a state-of-the-art hybrid digital web press. The modular digital print station enables operators to use existing inventory of plate cylinders and dies precluding the necessity for an expensive off-line servo driven die-cutter/slitter re-winder. The CDT 1600-PC Retrofit digital label and tag printing platform offers an industry-leading combination of high print quality, fast job production, and low equipment cost. Powered by Memjet, the CDT digital print station runs at speeds up to 200 feet per minute at 1600 x 1200 dpi.

The Digital Flexo-bility upgrade is an ideal print production solution for label converters looking to add full color digital inkjet printing to their existing flexographic press. Avoid set-up expenses by printing small jobs digitally and add full color variable data to traditional analog processes. The superior performance and price proposition, ease of use, self-maintainability, and scalability of the CDT 1600-PC Retrofit platform create a powerful productivity tool suitable for use in a variety of business environments. Take advantage of the Retrofit's just-in-time printing solutions, including the flexibility to queue and run multiple jobs in the same run and change copy (i.e. part numbers, logos, sequential numbers) at any time prior to production.

"We feel this CDT Digital Flexo-bility upgrade is truly revolutionary and will change how the printing industry evaluates the needs of their equipment moving forward," said Justin Styers, President of Styers Equipment. "The combination of fast print speeds, high resolution and ease of operation are unmatched in the industry and we are privileged to have the opportunity to advance this technology.

"Colordyne has changed the dynamic of everything we've known about short runs and as print speeds continue to increase over time, we expect run lengths to increase as well," Styers said. "Up to three-year leasing and financing options are available so please contact us today to discuss your options."
