It really makes no sense to tie a printing press to a blown film line. Any time the press goes down to clean plates or for other reasons the extruder needs to shut down also. Likewise if extruder problems occur the press is down. You then have two pieces of equipment down for one problem.

We tied a printing press with converting machine in the 1980's and watched as scrap and downtime increased. Soon the experiment ended.
