News on Suppliers to the Packaging Printing Industry from packagePRINTING February 2013

GENT, BELGIUM—Esko has reported several successful implementations of its new Full HD Flexo technology, which was introduced at drupa 2012. Among these is Germany-based Bischof + Klein, a leading full-service supplier of flexible plastic and paper packaging and technical films.

Helmut Wenzl, operations manager at the Konzell printing plant of Bischof + Klein, comments: "Thanks to the installation of Esko's CDI with Inline UV2, Bischof + Klein is able to execute 'Full HD' flexo printing with high screen rulings and a convincing solid ink laydown. The first productions in higher print runs up to 250,000 meters also showed very consistently reproduced quality, with print results exactly matching the proofs. We already have many production jobs to be handled with Full HD Flexo in the pipeline."
