The new nyloflex ACE digital plate was introduced into the market with excellent reviews. Customers report that the plate runs much cleaner on press, without the need to stop for regular cleaning cycles.
As new pre-press technologies such as high definition flexo and flat top dot have emerged, it has become increasingly important to optimise photopolymer plates and it was for this reason that Flint Group reformulated its nyloflex ACE Digital plate.
Benefits include sharper details, high contrast images and smoother vignettes as well as less cleaning stops and less downtime. ‘In addition to the extremely clean running nature of the plate, we have been able to maintain the high performance printing characteristics for which plate has always been known,’ said Joan Cekovsky-Kaza, director of sales, Flint Group Flexographic Products, North America.
Due to the positive feedback the company received during the initial beta testing, which was conducted in all areas of flexo print applications in over 100 different print trials, Flint Group developed a special tool, a cost savings calculator, that allows the printer to determine the potential time savings, cost savings and capacity increase available to him by switching to the new plate. The tool provides the printer with an effective means to put values behind the plate evaluation on press.
‘We are convinced that potential customers who try the new nyloflex ACE Digital plates will be impressed with the high quality of the plate, with its longevity on press, and the efficiencies, which it affords, we’re challenging them to convince themselves,’ commented Eberhard Huter, vice president sales, Flint Group Flexographic Products.
Flint Group is offering a free trial case of plates to qualified printers. Contact the company to request a free sample of plates and assistance with the cost savings calculator tool.
