Edale’s showroom in Whitely, Hampshire
UK manufacturer of narrow web printing presses and converting machinery, Edale has adopted Fujifilm’s UVivid Flexo JD inks for use on its Flexo Line range of presses on display in its showroom in Whitely, Hampshire.
The UVivid Flexo JD is a high quality UV curing flexo ink system for narrow web printers, which has been developed to give the highest performance across an extensive range of UV flexo machinery, complementary press products and substrates.
James Boughton, managing director, commented, ‘We were impressed by the high colour strength offered by Fujifilm’s UVivid Flexo JD inks, which has already enabled us to reduce ink volumes without compromising image quality. UVivid Flexo JD inks guarantee consistent colour reproduction across the different flexo presses available in our showroom and allow us to achieve reliable and stable performance.’
The inks are suitable for a wide array of applications, including self-adhesive labels, sachets and pouches, unsupported films, low shrink sleeves and in-mould labels, and are available as Pantone mixing, process or metallic colours. Edale is also using UVivid Flexo Supernova White, an ultra-opaque flexo printable ink that can replace rotary screen white ink, and allows fine text and opaque solids to be combined on the same plate.
Mr Boughton, added, ‘We particularly appreciate the excellent cure response of the UVivid Flexo JD inks, which doesn’t compromise high throughput, together with their wide adhesion range, which gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our Flexo Line presses a variety of substrates.’
