One of its most notable innovations in flexo sleeve technology is the highly acclaimed OptiFlex thin sleeve. The sleeve’s compatibility with any photopolymer gives customers the only true open platform that does not restrict the use of a specific polymer material. Not only can printers enjoy exceptionally fast set-up times of as little as 30 seconds per printing station, they also have total freedom to select the material with the best qualities or hardness that suits the particular print run.
