ABOUT MPS
Founded in 1996, MPS Systems (MPS) is a globally
known Dutch-based manufacturer of flexo,
offset, and digital-hybrid printing presses for the
world-wide narrow web industry. Our presses are
characterized by ease of operation, print quality and
a high return on investment ratio.

What does it take for printing presses to really deliver in terms of quality and productivity?
Efficient and proven technology, obviously. But the true difference is made by the people
behind the controls. If their machines are reliable and easy to use, they will enjoy their work
more and, as a result, do a better job.
KEEPING YOUR OPERATORS MOTIVATEDThe above reasoning explains why MPS puts operators first at any level of product development,
down to the tiniest detail. Our presses will help you to maximize the talents of your operators,
enabling them to perform at their best. Printing companies will reap more benefits than just
perfect printing results. After all, a motivated operator is also a loyal operator.
In this brochure we will briefly present a few prime examples of how our operator focus
translates into unique product features and advantages − and, ultimately,
into top print quality and printing productivity.

MOTIVATED OPERATORS BOOST RESULTS
OPERATOR MOTIVATION PROVES ESSENTIAL FOR PRODUCTIVITY
In today’s printing market, it is becoming harder and harder to find and keep skilled operators.
Studies have proven that a motivated operator is the most important parameter in the printing
process. User-friendly printing presses contribute to maximum operator motivation.
Operator Focused, Results Driven.
EASY TO USE CONTROLS
SMART ERGONOMICS
ICONTROL ON EACH STATION
The intuitive MPS iControl interface greatly
simplifies machine control and operation, and,
hence, minimizes operator errors.
HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE TOUCH SCREENS
MPS presses come with extremely easy to use
full colour touch screens at each print station.
All machine functions (start, stop, speed, etc.)
can be controlled from any station.
CLEVER RAIL SYSTEMS
MPS rail systems are designed for easy access.
On top of that we have introduced ULTRAFLEX,
a rail extension to change the sequence of the
converting units “on the fly”.
SLIDE OUT INK DRAWERS
MPS offers the benefit of slide out ink drawers.
Operators won’t need to lean into their
machines in order to change ink. This option is
offered in combination with APC packages.
EASY PRINT HEAD ACCESS
Press operators won’t need complicated
manoeuvring in order to service or clean
print cylinders or sleeves.
PRESS FEEDBACK
APC options provide accurate, real-time data
regarding the position of the anilox and print
sleeve at each print station. This will clearly
boost operator confidence.
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
AUTOMATED PRINT CONTROL (APC)
To make the operator’s job as easy as possible,
MPS developed Automated Print Control (APC).
It provides automated servo control of relevant
print pressure settings at each print station,
with automated job memory allowing for
effortless repeat jobs.
INTELLIGENT PRESSURE SETTINGS
When there’s no APC technology on board,
MPS’ proprietary iSet Technology provides
a user-friendly way of regulating pressure
settings. This mechanical setting technology
decreases setup waste and delivers reliable
performance.
CONSISTENT PRINT QUALITYFAST SET-UPS ANDCHANGEOVERS
TALK TO ME
CRISP.DOT TECHNOLOGY
MPS Crisp.Dot technology, which features a
non-driven impression roller, ensures friction
free print momentum. As a result, the print dot
retains its round shape, dot gain is minimized,
ink coverage is solid, and small fonts are
sharper. Besides ensuring consistent print
quality, this allows for printing even the most
demanding quality labels, flexible packaging,
or folding cartons. Operators will be even more
proud of the work they deliver.
THE NEXT STEP IN CONNECTIVITY
We developed a new protocol for exchanging
data between Management Information
Systems and MPS printing presses. By
constantly being able to communicate with
the printing press operators will optimize
their performance and, in the process, enjoy
increased job satisfaction. Talk to me provides
“anytime, anywhere” functionality.
QUICK CHANGE PRINT ELEMENTS
In MPS presses print elements such as ink
trays, meter rollers, anilox rollers, and doctor
blades are very easy to change. Anilox rollers
as well as doctor blades are fitted with handles
for transport and positioning/removal. These
handles are used for locking said elements
inside the print head as well.
TALK TO ME − THE NEXT STEP IN CONNECTIVITYIn the printing industry as well as anywhere else in modern business, connectivity continues
to develop into a factor by which future success is measured. That is why MPS developed an
innovative means of promoting the exchange of information between MPS printing presses
and its surroundings. MPS presses can now be linked to pre-press and post-press systems
as well as to ERP or Management Information Systems (MIS). Labelled talk to me, this MPS
innovation is essentially a protocol that allows for real-time data exchange − hence, control
− at any given moment.
WANT TO WATCH THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR MPS PRESS IN REAL-TIME? IT’S JUST ONE CLICK AWAY!
CHOOSE THE FUTUREBy allowing printing press operators to get the most out of their machines MPS presses will
give your company a distinct and lasting competitive edge. The bottom line is that all MPS
benefits combined will firmly reduce your costs per 1,000 labels. What’s more, the waste
reduction you’ll achieve will serve to support strong sustainability statements.
So choose the future; choose MPS.
