-
World’s finest inline multi-color print/cure system
-
Designed for everything from poly banner material to heavy board stock
-
Individually-controlled and infinitely-variable dual UV lamps
Processor II E™ is simply the finest inline multi-color print/cure system available. It has larger four-post shafts and enclosed heavy-duty printheads with extrusions twice as wide as the previous generation. Features include master touch-screen control panels at the load and unload stations, with secondary touch-screen panels at each printhead. Printhead and UV settings can be controlled from any touch-screen. Processor II E can support up to eight cameras feeding video into an oversize display panel, allowing operators at the load and unload stations to closely monitor each printhead and the unloading process.
Electronic off-contact, print and flood speeds, front and rear carriage stop, and electronic peel are entered at any touch-screen. Electronic peel starts at zero from the starting position of the print stroke. Operators can use M&R’s Job Recall™ to store each print & cure parameter as an operator-named job, and then recall that job for subsequent print runs. Jobs can also be assigned a bar code, which can later be scanned from a master list or from the paperwork that accompanies print runs. M&R’s optional Zoned Vacuum System™ allows operators to quickly limit vacuum to the area under the substrate. Also available is M&R’s Heritage, a fully-adjustable suction-style takeoff that adapts to virtually any substrate.
Each dual-lamp UV head is independently controlled for optimum performance. M&R’s reflector technology directs reflected energy back to the substrate. It cools substrates by drawing ambient air across the substrate and venting heated air and ozone through open-top reflectors. Since Processor II E maximizes curing speed and minimizes substrate temperatures, operators can find a perfect match for virtually every curing requirement.

CONTROL CENTER
- All printhead and UV controls—including central off-contact, stroke length, and ink dip—are available at the main control panel and at each printhead
- Control panel is easy to navigate, with programming and prompts in plain language
- Digital microprocessor with self-diagnostics
- Dwell and load station vacuum times are independently managed from the control panel
- Flood/non-flood setting allows screens to be flooded or left unflooded after each print cycle
- Foot pedal pauses machine cycle, releases vacuum at the load table, and keeps paper locators firmly against the vacuum bed
- Job Recall™ allows storage and recall of numerous standard and optional functions and settings, including electronically controlled dwell time, index speed, off-contact, peel ratio, print stroke and flood stroke length & speed, squeegee pressure (electronically adjusted air pressure), and wattage settings on UV cure units
- Master touch-screen control panels at the load and unload stations, with secondary touch-screen panels at each printhead
- Press can index in either direction so that during proofing the operator can alter the order of screen/color application on test prints without having to tear down and set up for each variation
- Production speed monitor ensures more accurate job costing
- Touch screen panel with alphanumeric display at the main station and digital keypads with LCD display at each print station
