the 4color digital inkjet unit named jetplus, which debuted in 2012, has completed his test phase and has been fully operational at a customer near omet&rsquos headquarters in lecco, italy, for a few months.  the press is printing on an ongoing basis with several changeovers scheduled a day. the rapid changeovers and equally fast startups, even in presence of rather different jobs, does no more than confirm the efficiency of the machine for the printing of small runs handling a great variability of materials and designs, and coping with justintime deliveries.the xflex x6 we refer to represents for the customer who bought it a fundamental resource. the converter, in fact, can take jobs that normally would not be convenient if printed on a higher productive machine or on equipment with by far complex configurations. the fast makeready, the average speed and the availability of convertingfinishing units inline realize the allinonepass printing concept with the guarantee of the highest level of quality. as a further evidence of the profitability of this press is the fact that the press combines inline what is usually performed on two different machines for, respectively, digital printing and diecutting, activity, this latter, generally performed offline at extra costs. the dream come true of allinonepass label production is further evidenced by the possibility to combine on the same line flexo groups for the printing of pantones and solids, cold and hot foil, as in this application, and even silkscreen printing and lamination.jetplus offers highdefinition quality printing at an average speed of 50 meters per minute, a quite exceptional speed in digital label printing. this is possible thanks to the presence inline of monotwin cut system, omet&rsquos original tool offering high speed rates and quick job changeovers. in case of variation of the diecutting shape, in fact, the operation of change is carried out rapidly with no need to neither replace the magnetic cylinder nor adjust the diecutting unit since preregister settings are automatic with respect both to digital or flexo. monotwin cut, omet patent, is equipped with standard gapmaster to promote a longer and better use of dies.the customer has been assisted by omet technical staff during the whole test phase receiving full onfield assistance. main activity was to &lsquosynchronize&rsquo the flexo units with the digital inkjet group as per speed and quality of print. the deep knowhow of omet on inline printing and finishing techniques, the experience and fieldability in defining the best practices on the xflex x6 and the control on the efficacy of processes and savings involved have helped in fine tuning the press for the handling of any practically request.what made the difference was also the internal prepress capability of omet and the possibility to interface directly with the technical staff of the customer to set the press for the best achievable result.
