Flexographic Printing - Wide Web

Wider widths, automation, and sustainability are top-of-mind aspects to the new look of narrow-web printing.

The Flexo Xperience Center is a partnership between MacDermid and SOMA and is an expansion of their initial plans to install a SOMA Optima2 printing press at MacDermid’s facility in Atlanta.

Miraclon has introduced PureFlexo Printing, which enables KODAK FLEXCEL NX System users to produce high-quality flexo print within a wider operating window on press by controlling unwanted ink spread.

Gelflex-EB CI flexo inks and Energy Sciences Inc.’s EZCure Electron Beam are now able to meet customers’ demands on PCMC’s Fusion C.

At the recent FTA Forum, industry experts discussed a range of topics that included print quality scoring, color theory and consistency, establishing standard operating procedures, plate technologies, customer satisfaction, defect detection and correction, and screening technologies.

Since the installation of the Fusion C, Yellowstone Plastics has increased the quality and quantity of its product offerings, thanks to innovative Fusion C features including Flextreme drying, 100% web inspection, the Intelliprint auto-impression setting, and SteadyPrint.

In an industry that continues to be impacted by the rise of digital technologies, flexography is proof that conventional printing is far from being replaced.

In addition to leading the company’s US business, as he has since February 2019, Stan Blakney now will assume leadership of PCMC operations in Italy and Serbia.

SOMA, a producer of flexographic printing presses, plate mounters, slitter rewinders, and laminators, announces that SOMA North America has enlisted Moore & Moore Printing Solutions, based in Arden, N.C., as a sales agent in the U.S.

The partnership between MacDermid Graphics Solutions and SOMA includes the installation of a SOMA Optima² printing press at MacDermid's global headquarters in Atlanta, as well as plans to transform the headquarters into a global innovation center designed to help the flexo and packaging industries explore innovative solutions.
