In India, Ahmedabad based Shilp Gravures recently installed Esko's Full HD Flexo solution, a combination of inline UV2 technology on its CDI 4260 digital flexo imager and special screening. Full HD Flexo allows flexo printing to compete with offset and gravure quality.
"This was the only technology that gave us the best flat top and round top dots in the same flexographic plate, with results close to offset and gravure quality," says Gajanan Bhavsar, Shilp's marketing director. "We have been waiting for years to achieve gravure quality with flexo plates as it is a faster, more flexible and cost-effective process. So it's now possible to move the highest quality work from gravure to flexo, which is what some of the leading brand-owners want."
