Flint updates converters on NExT letterpress

Flint Group celebrated the tenth anniversary of its regular customer seminars with meetings at Steinfeld (Northern Germany) and Fichtenau (South Germany) to update converters on the status of its LED-based nyloflex NExT exposure technology.

Flint Group has said events to mark the 10th anniversary of its flexo-focused regional customer events in Germany were well attended, with plans to hold more in 2014

First established for flexo printing, the system was expanded last year into letterpress printing for specialist security and banknote printing applications, as well as the high-end segment of labels, tubes, cups and can printing. The exposure time of the nyloflex NExT LED bars can be customised to define dot shape and shoulder angle. The new technology can be used for all digital letterpress plates, regardless of plate thickness and format.

In flexible packaging, nyloflex NExT enables an optimised ink lay down on press and improves highlights and fine vignettes, says Flint. The exposure technology is applicable for all digital flexographic printing plates.
