Nitikshaa Label Tech installs WEIGANG’s first ZJR E Series press in India, expanding its eight-color UV flexographic printing capabilities.
India-based label printer Nitikshaa Label Tech has installed a Weigang ZJR-450E, an eight-colour, servo-driven in-line UV flexographic press. The installation marks the first entry of the Chinese manufacturer’s ZJR E Series into the Indian market.
The ZJR-450E features print sleeve technology and can handle a wide range of substrates, from 12-micron unsupported packaging films to 400 gsm board. Each printing sleeve is powered by an independent servo motor, eliminating gears in the printing units and simplifying job changeovers. Retaining the key concepts and features of Weigang’s G Series, which uses dual servo motors on each printing unit, the E Series offers a more cost-effective configuration.
Guru Prasanth of Nitikshaa Label Tech said he had first seen the Weigang in-line servo-driven flexo press demonstrating its ability to handle diverse jobs and substrates at a Labelexpo exhibition. Impressed by its capabilities, he had been interested in investing in the machine for some time. He described the installation as a valuable addition to the company’s production capabilities.
He also acknowledged the support of Nalin Sharma, Director of Global Graphics Machineries, highlighting his technical guidance, involvement and commitment throughout the project. According to Prasanth, the combination of suitable machinery and reliable support played an important role in making the investment a positive experience.
Nalin Sharma added that the ZJR-450E has enabled Nitikshaa Label Tech to develop new production capabilities. He noted that its print sleeve system and motorised pressure settings support versatile printing applications across different substrates.
