Luxembourg-based Flint Group will showcase the latest technology for label and narrow web printers at the upcoming Labelexpo exhibit in Rosemont, IL, Chicago during September 14-16, 2010.
Flint Group Flexographic Products will introduce the more eco-efficient, thin plate technology with the nyloflex FAB 030 Digital printing plates, which shows its strengths specifically in narrow web printing. The thinner plates offer a myriad of benefits including reduced energy consumption and waste, lower dot gain, less distortion and cupping of plates and faster processing speeds with increased consistency.
The nyloflex FAB plates offer outstanding resistance to UV inks and enhanced flexibility to wrap around small diameter printing cylinders.
In addition to printing plates, Flint Group Flexographic Products will showcase the rotec Label Sleeve, developed specifically for narrow web printing with increased dimensional stability and excellent edge stability. The highly durable sleeve exhibits excellent concentricity under various temperature/humidity conditions and performs well with virtually all plate/tape thicknesses. All types of adapters can be used with the rotec Label Sleeve.
By understanding the full potential of the various narrow web print techniques, Flint Group Narrow Web brings converters optimal combinations to create the most eye-catching and value added label possible.
