Masterwork will be located in Hall 1 during the show’s two week event from May 31 to June 10, 2016.

“Drupa provides Masterwork with the unique opportunity to demonstrate our successful post-press strategies to the international graphic arts community that want to succeed in today’s print industry,” says Carol Jiang, Vice President, Masterwork USA. “Our experts will be on hand to walk visitors through our entire product portfolio and show them how our machines can bring them increased revenue when added to their production facilities.”

The Masterwork booth will be demonstrating:
The new Duopress 106FCSB offers six processes in one pass: foil stamping, embossing, die cutting, stripping, blank separation, and product collection. By combining all of these processes inline will dramatically improve a user’s productivity and increase efficiency. The Duopress 106FCSB features improved foil control systems that have been designed to ensure accurate foil feeding and create greater foil saving benefits. In addition, the new Duopress 106FCSB neatly and conveniently stacks the finished products in a pile, which prevents the products from being damaged, and saves employee time and effort.

The Diana Eye 55 fully-automatic sheet inspection system offers high efficiency, intelligence, and quality to its users. Its faster output leads to better productivity. The Diana Eye 55 boasts a maximum working speed of 200-300m/min with a maximum sheet size of 550mm x 500 mm and a stock range of 90-650g/m2 cardboard. The Diana Eye is unique in that it features an adjustable camera light source for multi-process inspection and complex processes such as holograms and foil stamping can be inspected.

The new modular Diana Smart 55/115 folding carton gluing machines are ideal for the medium performance segment of the market. These machines offer short set-up times, 100% inline inspection of the entire print image, excellent accessibility due to low side frames on operator and drive side, electronic speed control, and a touchscreen for machine operation. Its compact design sacrifices none of its high quality productivity providing a maximum speed of 450 m/min. It is perfectly suited for a great variety of production applications in the 55 and 80 format ranges up to a maximum carton length of 60 cm. including folding cartons, lock bottom cartons, double wall cartons, multi compartment cartons, miniature cartons, mailing envelopes, record sleeves made of folding boxboard from 200 to 600 gsm and e-flute corrugated board. For additional flexibility, it can be combined with the Diana Inspection Control, Diana Braille module, a stack turner, Diana Feeder, Diana Packer, or the FAS 480 semi-automatic packer.

Masterwork has also combined its R&D focus and its manufacturing capabilities with Heidelberg’s support network. At Drupa, both firms will be displaying these two products:
The Promatrix 106 CSB die cutter with blanking is ideal for short to medium production volumes and performs die cutting and embossing at a speed of 8,000 sheets per hour. The machine offers a wide range of standard features, extremely user-friendly operation, and an attractive price-performance ratio. The Promatrix 106 CS can handle substrates from 65-lb. text to 48-pt. board. It outputs 8,000 sheets per hour, and has a maximum sheet size of 29.92×41.7″.

The Easymatrix 106 CS die cutting machine with stripping rated at 7,700 sheets per hour delivers precision in folding carton production. It offers short set-up times, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. It processes materials from 90 to 2000 g/m2 even up to 4 mm thickness corrugated board. It features non-stop operation in the feeder and delivery, motorized cutting pressure adjustment, convenient fine adjustments of the cutting plate and a quicklock chase for the cutting die as well as the upper stripping tool. Short makeready time and straightforward operation deliver an unprecedented level of productivity. Workflow is much more effective because automation largely eliminates errors resulting from manual production.

Masterwork USA And Its Popular Die Cutting and Print Inspection Machinery Star at IADD/FSEA Odyssey Outside of Chicago

Record number of attendees excited to see fast speeds, precise accuracy, and high quality

Masterwork USA, a leading manufacturer of folding carton and packaging equipment headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is pleased to announce its strong success at the IADD/FSEA Odyssey trade show where it exhibited its new MK 1060MF automatic die-cutting machine with stripping and MK 420QMINI printing inspection machine to a record-shattering attendance. The biennial trade show, targeted specifically to diecutting, diemaking, foil stamping/embossing, folding carton, corrugated and general/specialty markets took place from May 13 -15, 2015 at the Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg (outside of Chicago), IL. It attracted 107 exhibitors and 21 separate pieces of equipment running in the Techshop™, in addition to the machinery on display in exhibitor booths, making it the largest show in the organization’s history.

“We were one of the elite participants at the show,” says YaJun (Carol) Jiang, Vice President, Masterwork USA. “We engaged with attendees at technical sessions conducted in the Techshop™ in which we demonstrated our fully-operational MK 1060MF auto die-cutting machine with stripping and our MK 420QMINI printing inspection system. These unique show-and-tell clinics were enhanced by our real-time demonstrations using our latest high-tech equipment, giving us the ability to present our production solutions to this targeted audience. Our equipment was placed in an environment simulating a working production shop floor where technical sessions on diecutting, diemaking, folding/gluing, foil stamping/embossing and other print finishing processes were taught live on the equipment throughout the three-day event. Cutting-edge video equipment and live-action feeds allowed attendees to see our MK 1060MF and MK 420QMINI in action up close and in real time.”

The MK 1060MF automatic industrial die-cutting machine with stripping offers precise accuracy, high speeds, easy operation, and more stability than other machines on the market. The MK1060MF has a maximum sheet size of 1060mm x 760mm and a speed of 7700s/h die cutting.

The impressive MK 420QMINI high-speed, high precision automatic sheet inspection machine allows a graphic arts firm to increase production capacity, reduce costs, and carry out 100% on-line inspections throughout 24 hours of uninterrupted operation. The Mini’s new technology removes the cumbersome human inspection process with its inefficiency and inaccuracy and allows the 420MINI’s high-speed CCD camera to detect the slightest deviations from the standard sample. The 420MINI Q has a highly-adjustable patented light source that can make meticulous and accurate adjustments according to the different printing processes, such as laser or holographic foil stamping. This light source, found only on MK machines, can filter the reflective light on the sheets to make the image clear and give the best detection results. The MK 420MINI offers a maximum running speed of 75,000 sheets/hr. It will take a maximum sheet size of 420mmx350mm and a minimum sheet size of 70mmx70mm.

“We always look forward to displaying our equipment at the IADD/FSEA Odyssey show because it truly is where innovation and technology converge,” says Jiang. “We’ve never been disappointed in the attendees or show.”

IADD/FSEA Odyssey is the converting industry’s premier three-day education and technology expo uniquely focused on diemaking/diecutting, folding carton, corrugated, converting, foil stamping, embossing, and specialty industries. It is sponsored by the Foil and Special Effects Association and the International Association of Diecutting and Diemaking.

MASTERWORK MARKS MILESTONE 20^TH ANNIVERSARY TO CELEBRATE ITS AWARD-WINNING FINISHING AND POST-PRESS EQUIPMENT AT ITS HEADQUARTERS IN CHINA

The new Masterwork MK1060ERSL automatic platen die-cutting machine was the centerpiece attraction

Nov. 20, 2015: In late October, Masterwork, a leading finishing manufacturer supplier of folding carton and packaging equipment headquartered in Tianjin, China, invited customers and corporate partners to its headquarters to mark its 20^th milestone anniversary. More than 40 customers from 11 countries were represented at the fete to celebrate the rapid growth of the company throughout the world.

Masterwork executives greeted guests at its sprawling facility in Tianjin, the fourth largest city in China and a major port. During the celebration, attendees took guided tours of the Masterwork factory and showroom and listened attentively to equipment presentations and participated in group discussions. In his opening remarks, Masterwork’s general manager welcomed everyone and thanked them for their support from the firm’s inception in 1995 through its rapid growth in two decades to becoming the world’s leading supplier of printing and packaging equipment and services. He noted that Masterwork’s equipment has improved production and quality for its users, while saving manpower, increased production efficiency, and delivered additional profit growth.

The centerpiece attraction during the celebration was the new more fully-featured MK1060ERSL automatic platen die-cutting machine. This new model offers even more features than the popular MK1060ERS, an automatic platen die cutting machine with stripping and blanking capabilities. The newly launched MK1060ERSL provides an electronic chaise loader on the top of the machine, vacuum belts on the feed table, a sample checking device at the waste removal section allowing an operator to check a complete sheet, and a target speed of 8,000 sheets per hour.

In the afternoon following a tour and panel discussion, attendees were divided into smaller groups led by Masterwork staff where they discussed a variety of topics, from Masterwork’s on-site equipment to operation questions.  A theme throughout the discussions was customer praise for Masterwork’s high-quality, rapid production equipment.

The celebration ended on a  high note, praising the firm for its rapid leadership role in the printing and packaging industry and looking ahead at future development in which the firm has plans to create even more modern, intelligent, high-end equipment in which the internet and networking technology will play an ever-increasing role. It’s an exciting time for Masterwork as it celebrates its 20^th year in business and looks forward to be announcing further additions to its product line during 2016.
