After the success of the 8-colour Marte model, BFM has started the development of a new gearless version in order to complete its range of central drum flexoprinting machines. The new Marte GL, with a maximum printing width of 1,200 mm, is anticipated as a breakthrough in flexoprinting technology, especially in terms of reduction of work changeover time. The machine will be introduced in an open house at the BFM factory in Solbiate Olona (Varese, Italy) before and after K 2010.
