printing quality and its enhanced
web-laying belts optimise the way
the product lies. The new power
transmission belts set standards, of-

product lives.

even more accurate printing results.
The Print 6646-2.15E is single-ply
and has a low-noise underside. This
characteristic is particularly impor-
tant for high-speed operation during
flat-bed printing.
Because of the typical start-stop
process during flat-bed printing,
belts without enhanced undersides
frequently cause irritating noise.
With its special fabric design and
low surface weight, the belt is also
amenable to key elements of the
machine, such as the magnetic bar
cover. It also ensures longer service
life and cuts energy and mainte-
nance costs as a result.
The two-ply PRINT 6736-2.65E
was developed for rotary printers
based on this innovative high-tech
fabric design. In this case, advan-
