Phil Baldwin, aftermarket manager Europe with the Full HD certificate
Mark Andy Inc has become the first flexo printing machine manufacturer to adopt and receive Esko Full HD Flexo certification.
The achievement makes Mark Andy’s level of print quality and production consistency unique across its range of in-line flexo equipment.
Certification is awarded after Esko specialists check the quality of several print samples against published Full HD Flexo parameters. The Full HD certified quality seal enables Mark Andy equipment to produce consistent, high-quality print jobs with sharper images, bright impactful solids, and a wider colour gamut.
‘Mark Andy is very proud to be the first fully certified Full HD Flexo manufacturer,’ said Kevin Wilken, president and CEO. ‘We have worked very hard to ensure our customers can rely on us to remain current when it comes to all aspects of the flexo printing workflow. It is important for us to be up to date in the latest prepress and plate making technologies.’
In addition to the global press manufacturer, the Mark Andy Print Products division is also pleased to be an authorised supplier and distributor Esko technology. Flexo printers and converters in North America can access the latest Esko CDI and platemaking workflows through the dedicated supplies and consumables group.
‘We are proud to be working with Esko to provide access to the key technologies that support Full HD Flexo standards,’ said Joe Calmese, director of flexo consumables. ‘They lead the industry in driving quality standards and consistency, and that allows us to better support printers and converters.’
