Flint Will Showcase Innovations in Inks, Plates and Sleeves at Labelexpo
Flint Group will display its most recent innovations at Labelexpo 2015 from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2 in Brussels.
The new nyloflex FTF Digital plate was introduced this summer as an easy way to achieve high quality results in flexible packaging and label printing. The new plate provides flat top dots by processing the plate like any standard digital plate. A special, textured plate surface eliminates the need for time consuming surface screening and provides an even ink laydown and increased solid ink density with a standard resolution of 2,400 or 2,540 dpi. Thus, it achieves a significant reduction in complexity and increased efficiency in prepress and platemaking.
In 2014, Flint Group introduced the nyloflex NEF Digital, a flexo plate, designed for the nyloflex NExT exposure technology. The plate efficiently creates flat top dots and excellent reproduction of surface screenings.
“The customer feedback over the last months has confirmed that nyloflex NEF Digital, in combination with nyloflex NExT, enables to exploit the full potential of this exposure technology.” says Dana Contineanu, product manager of nyloflex.
