## Notice

CPI requires a rotary printing unit for testing developmental materials, to be used by our Formulation team. At this stage this is mainly aimed at screen printing inks, however this is likely to be extended to additional print methods in the future. This machine will be used to determine whether an ink is likely to work on a rotary printing system to reduce the risk when a material is trialled on a large scale R2R printing system.Please note this tender will also cover the ongoing supply of associated consumables, maintenance, software and add-ons for the existing equipment.
