“We are preparing an exciting and ‘sparkling’ show to educate, inspire and enable converters to push the boundaries of narrow web printing,” says Niklas Olsson, Global Brand Manager, Flint Group Narrow Web. “At Labelexpo Europe, we are proud to launch another milestone development - the complete ink range for LED curing, EkoCure™. The LED ink developments we’ve been driving for the past two years highlight the benefits of close partnerships between ink, lamp and press manufacturers enabling us to bring this exciting new development to life. At the show we will guide converters into the future of LED by showing the advantages it brings Flint Group will provide an in-depth analysis of all the benefits from this revolutionary technology, including examples of applications and end-user studies. Visitors will learn about the real added value that makes UV LED the technology for the future of narrow web.
Lithocure ANCORA™ is the newest product offering in the Narrow Web low migration portfolio. Combining outstanding press performance and excellent lithographic properties – this new range of UV Offset inks also meets stringent migration performance criteria for all types of food applications. Together with Flexocure® ANCORA™, Flint Group has spent significant research on understanding the impact of different food simulants and will provide full insight into migration studies completed with their low migration products; providing examples of what value true low migration products, such as the ANCORA™ range, bring to converters.
Says Mr. Par Olsson, Product Manager Narrow Web Europe, “Ink may be seen as a replaceable commodity by some, but it is very important to be fully aware of the limitations involved, and of the specific demands by the end users - especially when printing food packaging.”
