Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Water Washability: The Pro Model’s 30% faster wash cycle reduces downtime by 20% compared to industry benchmarks.
    • Material Blend: The nylon resin core in Advanced/Pro models boosts chemical resistance by 40%, ideal for harsh inks.
    • Micro-Embossing: The Pro’s precision alignment grid ensures ±0.01mm accuracy for high-detail work.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Best for small-run jobs (e.g., brochures) where cost-efficiency is key.
    • Advanced Model: Suited for medium-scale production (e.g., flexible packaging) needing durability and faster wash cycles.
    • Pro Model: Optimal for high-volume, precision printing (e.g., pharmaceutical labels) requiring extreme resolution and chemical resistance.

With the Pro’s triple-layer resin structure, you can handle aggressive solvents while maintaining print consistency over 100,000 impressions. Pair its micro-embossed grid with automated presses to eliminate manual alignment errors, boosting productivity by 25%.
