ITR flexographic printing

Question: Where else do you see good potential for further developments?

Mario Busshoff: We are constantly working on application-oriented developments which we hope will open up additional potential for us in future. Among other things, our developers are looking at new polymer/base sleeve combinations in order to produce ITR sleeves optimised for use with specific substrates or printing inks. These include coated paper and UV-inks. We can take advantage here of synergies within Flint Group's range of printing plates. For example, we may be able to modify the raw material used for the new nyloflex® FAB plate, which is designed specifically for printing with UV-inks, so that it can be used for ITR sleeves.
