OMET has received the prize “FTA Innovation Award 2008” in Dallas thanks to the new X-Flex line. In particular, the judges were amazed with the maximum production flexibility and efficiency.
The press, which allows using multiple print typologies, processes substrates of different thicknesses and provides for a remarkable reduction of setup times and waste.
Its innovative capacity is also linked to the presence of the pre-register and machine automatic control system Vision .
