Daetwyler SwissTec will participate as a partner of Image-to-Print and together with the other partners will offer an insight into "best practices" in packaging printing. The event will focus on innovations, value-added solutions and circular economy - topics that are currently moving the market more than ever. In addition to presentations and think tank discussions, the program also includes a plant visit to Siegwerk Toluca with a company tour.
With the new MDC PRECUT technology, Daetwyler SwissTec is setting another milestone in precision and occupational safety. Using laser technology, Daetwyler SwissTec perforates the MDC doctor blade with exact millimeter accuracy to the customer‘s specified dimensions, which are dependent on the printing presses utilized. The basic handling does not change for the user as this technology is offered in roll format by Daetwyler SwissTec. The individual doctor blade can be snapped apart at the specified length from the roll, eliminating any manual cutting steps and thereby also eliminating the associated risk of injury at the doctor blade table.

The MDC LONGLIFE already revolutionized the printing industry since its market launch. Thanks to the specially developed Longlife coating, print qualities and service lives were achieved in printing that were previously unimaginable. Today large and small printers all over the world trust in the quality of MDC doctor blades, especially the MDC LONGLIFE.
Sustainable increase in efficiency and cost savingsThe new MDC LONGLIFE PRO was specifically designed by Daetwyler SwissTec for gravure printing applications. All the many years of experience that Daetwyler has gained with coated doctor blades in the printing industry could be incorporated in this development. Gravure printers are facing great challenges. Efficiency increases and cost savings are daily topics in the pressroom. The MDC LONGLIFE PRO was developed precisely to meet these requirements. The MDC LONGLIFE PRO achieves outstanding quality immediately without run-in times. Once the blade has been setup, the doctoring is clean and constant over the entire run length. This is the essential and crucial advantage of the MDC LONGLIFE PRO.
Daetwyler SwissTec has more than 50 years of experience in gravure printing. With the MDC LONGLIFE PRO Daetwyler SwissTec has managed to print consistently over the entire runtime with minimal contact pressure as well with one machine setup. In addition, this special feature results in less friction in the contact zone, which has a positive effect on chrome wear of the gravure cylinder

MDC ROTOSTAR REPLACES MDC IBOSTAR
Daetwyler SwissTec replace MDC IBOSTAR with MDC ROTOSTAR. The MDC ROTOSTAR will then be available for all gravure applications. It is specially developed as an entry-level product in the coated gravure doctor blades market.
SMALL BATCH SIZES ARE CHALLENGING THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY
Product variations with small to medium batch sizes are presenting packaging manufacturers with even greater challenges. Increases in efficiency and cost savings are associated with this. The MDC ROTOSTAR is precisely designed to print small to medium jobs quickly and efficiently in gravure over short lead times without additional doctor blade changes.
ADVANTAGES:
• Made for gravure printing
• Suitable for mid-run jobs
• Corrosion protection
• Short run-in period
• Reduces hasing and streaks
MDC ROTOSTAR provides optimum doctoring from the first contact with the gravure cylinder. There is no need to run-in the doctor blade. Clean doctoring throughout the entire printing process is ensured thanks to an additional low-friction soft coating. This means that the doctor blade pressure can be set to a required minimum right from the start, which has a positive effect on chrome wear of the gravure cylinder. In addition, the MDC ROTOSTAR is provided with an all-round coating that offers optimum corrosion protection, regardless of whether solvent or water-based inks are used.
