Koenig & Bauer (US) have formed a strong strategic alliance with Sentinel, part of the Pamarco family of companies. A majority of its press installations over the past decade are successfully using the Sentinel system and have enjoyed a multitude of critical benefits.
“We are pleased to work with Koenig & Bauer’s broad portfolio of presses and support their customers’ efforts to have consistent quality, ease of use, and most importantly our alignment on sustainability for all markets of the printing industry,” says David Doucette, Director of Sales, Sentinel Ink Management Systems.
“The biggest benefit that our customers derive from using the Sentinel system is increased automation,” says Chris Travis, VP of Technology, Koenig & Bauer (US). “This increased automation removes the operator from the operation of agitating and dispensing the ink. But, there’s more. The Sentinel system provides additional flexibility, allowing packaging customers to switch and change or add PMS colors easily. Since the cartridges are plastic and paper, the system promotes sustainability. Operators can wash the plastic cartridges and reuse them. The printer has less waste to contend with. Furthermore, the ROI is quick. The Sentinel system can even be retrofitted to older Koenig & Bauer presses.”
