The conventional and digital nyloflex ACE NEW printing plates, a further innovation of Flint Group Flexographic Products, will be launched in Western Europe and North America in July 2012. The high durometer flexographic plates offer premium quality in flexible packaging, corrugated pre-print, beverage packaging and label printing. It is well suited for solvent-based inks due to its high solvent resistance, but can also be used with water-based inks and a broad range of UV inks.
Promising to offer sharp reproduction of the finest halftones, smooth, homogenous vignettes and high contrast images combined with excellent ink transfer, the new plate works well in combination with new technologies, such as HD Flexo or the company’s own nyloflex NExT.
The even floor and clear contrast result in easy handling and good mounting properties and the plate provides major advantages to printers due to its low dust attraction and advanced cleaning behaviour. According to customer reports nyloflex ACE NEW Digital runs up to 500,000 metres without cleaning stops, resulting in a reduction of printing costs. Moreover, stable quality and consistency during the entire run length, superior durability and a long lifetime make it very economical.
The company further said that extensive field tests brought outstanding print results and extremely positive feedback. The global market introduction of the new printing plates will progressively follow.
