Crossroads of Opportunity

Innovations in narrow-web flexo presses permit more printing and converting stations to be run in-line and, nowadays, often include servo drives and UV technology. Such equipment has opened many doors for converters, said Mac Rosenbaum, VP sales and marketing, Aquaflex.

"UV capability is a market trend that has gained momentum because of better technology in UV curing systems and better ink technology," he said. "Converters are seeing the advantages that are inherent with printing in UV from both the quality of print to the production advantages."
