Getting Better All the Time

WetFlex lets a printer wet trap energy-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives without the use of interstation drying, which is customary with a conventional CI press. With WetFlex, print quality is high and, because of its instant-cure capabilities, the press can be run up to speeds of 1,000 fpm, said Mike McGovern, director of sales and marketing for all Energy Curable Products at Sun Chemical. WetFlex also increases color strength and allows for increased line graphics, he said.
