Introducing Our New Soma Engineering Optima 2 Presses

In line with our dedication to innovation, Reflex has recently invested in two brand-new, state-of-the-art Soma Engineering Optima 2 presses. These 8-colour flexo presses support both surface and reverse printing at impressive speeds ranging from 400m to 600m per minute. Capable of printing on film, laminates, and paper between 400mm and 1320mm wide, these presses elevate our flexible packaging capabilities and deliver valuable benefits to our customers:

  1. Enhanced Business Continuity
    With two identical, latest-generation presses running in parallel, Reflex further futureproofs operations and mitigates the risk of downtime.

  3. Improved Productivity

  5. Superior Print Quality
    Sophisticated machine design, bounce control, drying systems, and blade control technologies are complemented by a 100% coverage inline camera inspection system -ensuring first-class print accuracy and defect detection.

    These presses boast greater energy efficiency than older-generation machines, while automated print settings and register control significantly reduce material waste during setup.
