PCM Image-Tek launches label finishing machine

PCM Image-Tek has introduced the MP850, an 8.5in wide finishing machine designed to laminate, die-cut, slit and rewind digitally printed labels. 

The MP850 is an in-line or off-line label finishing system that can laminate and rotary die-cut pre-printed labels produced by any roll to roll label printer. The MP850 die-cuts labels up to 8.25in wide by 9in long at speeds up to 8 inches per second. With an all-electronic set up with an interactive touch screen display, its intelligent rotary die-cutter cuts precisely, adjusts automatically and reduces label waste. The MP850 can also be used to cut blanks, to laminate specialty materials or to slit and rewind stock. 

The MP850 uses either engrave tooling or an optional magnetic cylinder with flex dies. It has many features of full size presses, including X and Y adjusters on the cutter and slitter, step up and step down anvil rollers, primary and secondary finished label take-ups and comes standard with a laminate liner take up.

The company says that the MP850 is compatible with any digital printer, including thermal transfer and units from industry suppliers VIP Color, Primera,  Degrava, QuickLabel Systems and Rapid Printers.
