The latest installation of the QUICKER C66 post-print plate washer took place in Serbia. Our customer the SPEKTAR Company was founded in 1985.

Food Compliance of final products is controlled in renowned and respectable accredited laboratories in Serbia and abroad. Quality, precision and speed of service are the best possible references of the SPEKTAR Company as a reliable supplier of flexible packaging that both domestic and foreign customers alike.
The company was struggling with a major problem of plates being pulled into the AGI machine it had been using. This had a great impact on turnaround times and often led to damage to the printing plate. This was connected with the high costs of preparing a new plate.
SPEKTAR representatives attended a demonstration of the QUICKER C66 cleaning machine, manufactured by Print Systems, at the invitation of our Serbian distributor, GOLDENGRAFIKA Doo. During the presentation, they tested their plates soiled with various types of inks. In everyday production, they use UV, solvent, and water-based inks. Tests convinced them that the process of washing printing plates in the QUICKER cleaning machine is faster while maintaining high quality regardless of ink was used on the plate. Key importance to our customer had the safety of plate. Our solution is the way the plate is guided on a special belt during washing. It prevents the washed plate from falling into the machine.
Successful tests, washing efficiency, reliability and safety determined the investment in a new post-printing plate washing machine QUICKER C66. Installation of the machine and staff training was performed by our representative for the Balkans countries, Ladislav Kubik.
Congratulations and best wishes for success!
