CI press specifications that matter
CI Press Specs brings the core machine details into one place for technical review. It is intended for buyers comparing central impression press configuration, print width, drying, and substrate handling before sign-off.
A CI press spec sheet should pin down repeat range, maximum print width, drying method, and the substrates to be run. For packaging work in South Africa, those details usually need to cover PE, BOPP, PET, paper laminates, ink system choice, and the unwind and rewind limits that affect daily output.
Technical review starts with the actual press configuration rather than a marketing summary. Check the number of colours, sleeve or gear setup, doctor blade system, web guide arrangement, and the drying zones so the machine matches the pack format and line speed expected on site.
Key figures before sign-off
For a CI press, the useful spec set is the one that supports approval, installation planning, and production checks. That usually includes web width, print repeat, drying capacity, registration control, tension range, and the substrate thickness window required for flexible packaging work.
When comparing one machine to another, line up the data in the same order every time and keep the plant layout close at hand. Confirm whether the press entry, operator side, drying length, and rewind arrangement suit the available space, then send questions through the contact form with the current press details.
Plant conditions affecting specification
Machine specifications cannot be read apart from the factory environment. Inland dust, coastal humidity, available compressed air, extraction requirements, and three-phase supply conditions all influence which CI press options are suitable for a packaging line in Gauteng, Durban, or Cape Town.
On older production sites, access width, slab loading, and the route from offloading point to press position need checking before the machine is finalised. Power interruptions also affect decisions around dryer recovery, control systems, and restart procedure, especially where first-pass waste must be kept under control.

Information needed for spec review
Send the intended substrate list, finished pack type, target web width, and ink system under consideration. Include any known limits on power, floor space, or upstream and downstream equipment so the CI press specification can be read against the full line.
If there is an existing press on site, note the current make, colour count, drying setup, and the faults or bottlenecks that triggered the review. Photos of unwind, print deck area, dryer section, and rewind help tie the specification page to the production reality.
