New from Flint Group Flexographic Products, the nyloflex ACE UP Digital high durometer flexo printing plate is said to be designed especially for use with water-based inks in corrugated preprint and aseptic packaging printing; it is also suitable for UV flexo printing.
According to Flint Group, extensive field tests have demonstrated that the new plate "provides a superior printing quality". Excellent ink transfer, especially on paper and rough substrates, is said to result in high ink density and homogenous, smooth solids. Defined highlight areas, text and line work as well as barcodes are sharply defined.
The new plate is also said to display a long run life and stability in printing, which results in a significantly increased efficiency. Its low surface tack ensures a reduced attraction of paper dust and dirt, enhancing productivity and durability of the plate. It also allows stacking of the clichés without interleaves, the company states.
