Southern Tape and Label of Cocoa, Florida Reduces Substrate Waste Using the Servo 3000 Infeed + Re-register System.

Southern Tape and Label of Cocoa, Florida saves on substrate waste by attaching a Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register™ system to each of their flexographic presses. Southern Tape and Label owner, Bob Ramsey, entered the digital printing age in 2010 and purchased the easily attached Servo 3000 for his Aquaflex press as finishing solution. The Servo 3000 re-registers the web of the digital print run and allows the flexo press to precisely finish digital press work. What surprised and pleased everyone at Southern Tape and Label were the dramatic cost savings in material waste reduction seen on all press runs, not just in finishing work for their digital press. Because the Servo 3000 turns a standard flexo press into a servo driven flexo press, a print run comes into register in one length of the press, the shortest distance possible with any press.

When Southern Tape and Label was not using the Aquaflex for digital finishing work they used the press for work on a full range of substrates and were so pleased with the results that they moved the easily attached unit to their Webtron press to use it there as well. The Webtron also had a substantial reduction in substrate waste but then the amount of waste on the Aquaflex went back up. What to do?
Bob Ramsey and his staff at Southern Tape and Label decided that the prospect of substantial savings from waste reduction on both their Aquaflex and Webtron presses justified the purchase of a second Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register™ system. Now the company saves material, money, and time on every press run of both presses working with a full range of substrates. Label and Web is so pleased with the results that they gladly show their Servo 3000 driven presses to those interested in learning about the Servo 3000.
Southern Tape and Label has been providing quality printing services for the Central Florida area since 1978.
The Servo 3000 is an easily attached accessory for web presses. The Servo 3000 improves press performance with the combination of a registration/re-registration system and a web tension system. It upgrades the infeed/web tension control of an older press to the same standard as a new, top end servo press. Although a new servo press will commonly cost anywhere from $250,000 to $1,000,000, and even more, the Servo 3000 helps a flexo press achieve servo function for a mere fraction of the cost of a new servo press. The Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register™ system is made by Rotary Technologies of Orlando, Florida.
