EB initiative from Comexi and Sun

10 February 2010


Comexi and Sun Chemical have announced the commercial availability of the first fully industrial solution for flexo printing using Comexi’s eComexi presses and the Sun WetFlex electron beam ink curing system. This technology, first presented at drupa 2008, is now said to be ready for use, ‘with proven results’, to print flexible packaging substrates.

The companies state that the WetFlex flexo EB curing ink printing process ‘not only allows flexible packaging converters the use of a fully environmentally friendly technology, but also provides impressive quality and compliance advantages’. It is said to guarantee total reliability in the heavy-duty industrial environment, achieving high printing quality with more than 70 l/cm, better brightness and a Comexi patented built-in inking system to secure full stability in the printing process.

In addition, ‘achieving such high print resolution will allow users to compete more effectively in the markets traditionally dominated by gravure printing, with less cost per square metre as the print process is 100% VOC-free’.

Comexi is now series-producing the eComexi FW1508 press. The company is also offering potential customers the chance to carry out industrial scale runs on a new in-house machine in its R&D Centre in Girona, Spain.
