Lombardi is showing the latest versions of its Synchroline and Invicta presses along with a preview of the next generation of its mid-web flagship press, the Invicta I2 – a prototype print unit will be on display.

The 670mm (26″) Invicta press line is targeted at the market for short run, value-added flexible packaging as well as other unsupported label film applications including shrink sleeves.  The press drew high praise and strong interest througout the show. In fact, Lombardi reports the Invicta on display was sold Prakash Printers and Coaters of Ahmedabad, India, during the show. It will be installed by the end of the year, the company says.

The Synchroline press platform at the Lombardi booth is presented with a new electronic control system making it “Digital Ready” for future integration with full-color VDP or digital embellishment modules. A number of conventional embellishment modules are also on display.

Those in North America interested in seeing the Lombardi Synchroline in action, can visit the newly opened Imageworx Innovation Center in Levittown, PA, just outsice of Philadelphia. Lombardi technology, an Imageworx partner in the US, is hosting demos of the press at the site, as well as a host of other equipment from well-known, innovative suppliers to the industry.

Imageworx president Jeff Toepfer and Andrew Wasserman of specialty ink and coatings partner Cyngient were also on hand at the Lombardi booth showcasing innovative security labeling applications produiced on the Lombardi machinery.
