Flint Group Flexographic Products has added a new flexo printing plate, nyloflex ACE UP Digital, for outstanding printing quality and efficiency, especially with water-based inks.

Recently the demands for a flexo printing plate have changed significantly; the plates have to be more specialised and adapted to the substrate as well as inks.

The new plate is especially designed for use with water-based inks in corrugated pre-print and aseptic packaging printing, and it’s also suitable for UV flexo printing. 

According to the company, field tests have demonstrated that the new printing plate provides a superior printing quality. The excellent ink transfer, especially on paper and rough substrates results in high ink density and homogenous, smooth solids. Defined highlight areas, text and line work as well as barcodes are sharply defined. 

The plate displays a long run life and stability in printing, which results in a significantly increased efficiency. The low surface tack ensures a reduced attraction of paper dust and dirt, enhancing productivity and durability of the plate.
