A Profusion of Plates and Films

From Flint Group Printing Plates comes the nyloflex range of flexo plates, including nyloflex ACT for optimal results in combination printing, where one plate consists of both halftone and solid printing areas. Intended for high-quality flexographic applications, nyloflex ACT can be used on most substrates including film, foil, and paper and is available in conventional and digital versions. The company’s nyloflex Gold A digital plate is said to be an aluminium-based plate with high dimensional stability for optimum register accuracy, with excellent resistance properties, especially against UV inks and varnishes. Digital processing provides a wide exposure latitude and a steeper dot shoulder profile for wide open reverses, as well as eliminating many potential faults involved with film processing. According to the company, nyloflex Gold A digital is ‘the’ solution for eye-catching effects in print finishing, with coating applications and printing with water-based metallic inks.
