Kodak appoints Jet Europe for its FLEXCEL NX Systems

A new strategic alliance will see Jet Europe sell KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic Systems, including hardware and consumables.  Jet Europe was chosen because of its strong position in the flexo market and its presence in almost every European country, where it offers a comprehensive range of flexo products.
 
The FLEXCEL NX System is Kodak’s latest digital flexo platemaking technology that improves on-press efficiency and provides high print quality for flexo printers.  It combines superior imaging technology and materials science to help print service providers to differentiate themselves from their competitors.  KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flex Plates are designed to minimize waste and maximize efficiency in the pressroom while delivering results that rival offset and rotogravure print quality.
 
The plates are compatible with water, solvent and UV inks and are suitable for a wide variety of applications including flexible pouches, bags, and cartons with excellent ink transfer and image reproduction on both paper and film based substrates.  In addition, KODAK FLEXCEL NX Plates help flexo printers reduce ink and substrate waste and their overall consumption of photopolymer plates.
 
Harry Heesen, managing director of Jet Europe, commented: ‘Our flexo printing customers are always striving to achieve top-quality, while at the same time reduce waste and manufacturing costs.  When preparing flexo plates, three factors have been proven to help achieve these goals – 1:1:1 image reproduction from file to mask to plate; flat top dot technology; and surface pattern innovations that enhance ink transfer from plate to substrate.  In our opinion, the KODAK FLEXCEL NX System technology excels in these three areas.’
