Flint Group Flexographic Products launches nyloflex FSC Digital

With the introduction of nyloflex FSC Digital, Flint Group Flexographic Products offers a new printing plate to the corrugated converting industry which is claimed to lower the total cost of ownership while increasing quality due to its low plate hardness of only 26 Shore A.

To print corrugated transit packaging, printing plates with a very low hardness are required to achieve sufficient ink transfer – previously this has only been possible with liquid plates. This meant that the printer had to abstain from many advantages of a solid plate, such as the very low manufacturing tolerances.

With the new nyloflex FSC Digital, the benefits of both plate types are combined, says the company. Printing on challenging liners is possible due to the low plate hardness (26 Shore A). Print quality is assured by nyloflex FSC Digital’s comprehensive area coverage and a good ink transfer. As the plate can also be used for halftone printing, it is suitable for a broad area of applications.

The plate benefits from its digital processing, with reproducible print quality a higher productivity due to digital workflow. Flint Group Flexographic Products offers nyloflex FSC Digital with plate thicknesses of 3.18 mm, 3.94 mm, 4.70 mm and 5.50 mm.
