Flint Group launches nyloprint WF-S

WF-S replaces the WF-M printing plate type from November 2015. Compared to the previous type, WF-S has an even softer plate surface for more flexible applications, according to Flint Group Flexographic Products. The soft surface provides improved ink transfer resulting in optimal ink lay-down, especially on rough surfaces. The nyloprint WF-S plate is said to be suitable for special applications such as blister pack printing, but also for rotary letterpress, coating units and imprinting units. Additionally, it offers a wide exposure latitude combined with high intermediate depths and very good durability for long print runs.

The nyloprint WF-S plate is available in thicknesses of 0.70mm, 0.80mm and 0.95 mm. A digital version of the film-based plate with all the advantages of digital processing is also available on request.
