Küchler switches to waterless plates

Küchler has exclusively relied on Verico Zahara NWL plates for the last 12 months following durability and performance issues with the previous plate. 

‘For long-run print jobs, in particular, the reliability of performance over the run is important. It is this that allows to estimate accurately and to expose, for example, the right number of replacement plates for a 40,000 impression job,’ said Dirk Handler, CEO of Etikettenfabrik Küchler. ‘Reliability is important and that’s what we achieve with the Zahara plate,’ he added.

The decision to switch to the Verico Zahara plate was also driven by the printed results that it delivers besides its durability.  According to Handler, since completing the switch platemaking and the plates themselves have become completely problem and maintenance-free during routine production. 

‘The elimination of chemicals from the process has made its contribution so that now nothing but clear water is used, and re-used, simplifying the process further,’ concluded Handler.
