Why they chose the MPS dedicated E-sleeve Plate Mounter
A bit about Grupo Argraf – can you tell us who you are?
Absolutely. Grupo Argraf has a long history — it all started back in 1939 when Mr. Lucio Torroba Andrés founded a graphic arts business. We officially became Argraf S.A. in 1978, and from the beginning we focused on wine and liquor labels, based in La Rioja, right in the heart of Spain’s wine country.Later, in 1985, we launched Argraf Ebro S.A. to meet the growing demand from food brands — especially in the canning industry. Since then, we’ve expanded our facilities and continuously invested in new technology. Innovation has always been key for us, and it's helped us stay at the forefront of label printing in Spain.
How does the MPS plate mounter fit into your production process?
It plays an important role in prepress. We’ve always prioritized precision and efficiency, and the MPS E-sleeve Plate Mounter supports both. It's easy to use and very intuitive — the interface is clear, and our operators were able to get started right away. In a fast-paced environment like ours, that’s critical.
What features stand out to your team?
We especially appreciate the precise graduation and the stable camera fixation. These features make the cliché mounting process fast and accurate — which helps us keep up with tight production timelines.The 200Moption is also great for long or repeat runs. It adds stability and consistency, which translates directly into better quality and fewer errors.
Any suggestions for improvement?
Yes - if we could suggest one enhancement, it would be adding a side-fixing system for the double-sided adhesive. Occasionally, the liner shifts slightly during mounting, which can cause small misalignments. A simple fixture would help prevent that and make the process even smoother.
Would you recommend the MPS plate mounter to others?
Absolutely. It’s a solid, reliable tool that delivers exactly what a professional prepress department needs: precision, ease of use, and repeatability. If you're a label converter looking to upgrade your prepress workflow, we’d definitely recommend it.Final thoughts?
We’re proud to be part of the MPS family. Over the past two years, we’ve added not just the plate mounter but also printing presses and other equipment. MPS shares our drive for quality and innovation - and that makes all the difference.
