Rotary screen printing is a vital technology in the world of label and graphics production, offering unparalleled efficiency and quality. At the forefront of this technology is SPGPrints, a Dutch company renowned for its innovative printing solutions, particularly the Rotamesh screen print cylinder and the RSI print unit. These tools are designed specifically for the high demands of the label and graphics print industries.

In the UK, MPH Limited is responsible for translating these technological advancements into practical, everyday printing solutions. As the official pre-press partner of SPGPrints, MPH Limited produces and prepares Rotamesh screens that are ready for immediate use, catering to demanding markets such as printed electronics and the graphic print industry.

Learn how these high-quality Rotamesh screens, which have been standardised to meet the rigorous requirements of the electronics market, bring substantial value to flexographic label printers across the UK.

 

 

The Core of Rotary Screen Printing: SPGPrints’ Technologies

SPGPrints has set a benchmark in the printing industry with its Rotamesh screen print cylinders and RSI print units. The Rotamesh screen, a non-woven nickel mesh, is engineered for strength and durability. The technology is particularly designed to handle the rigorous demands of fast-paced printing environments, making it an ideal choice for both the label and graphics print industries. This technology allows for a finer mesh that provides unprecedented ink control and deposition, which results in sharper images and richer colours on the final print.

The RSI (Rotary Screen Integration) print unit seamlessly integrates with existing label printing setups, enhancing them with the capability to perform complex, multi-colour jobs in a single pass. This integration not only optimises production times but also improves the overall quality of the print, making it a crucial tool for printers who prioritise both efficiency and quality.
