Flint commercializes black and white EkoCure inks

EkoCure Ebony and Ivory are UV LED-curable flexo black and white products that offer extreme density and opacity for flexo printed inks. 

EkoCure Ebony can be printed with coarser anilox technology to achieve high densities and yet maintain excellent press performance speeds and print performance such as adhesion and scratch resistance. 

EkoCure Ivory, together with the latest developments in anilox technology, enables printers to achieve an opaque white layer cured with UV LED lamps previously only possible using UV LED screen whites. 

Flint Group Narrow Web said both products will increase press productivity, adding that good results can be achieved at higher press speeds than when using conventional products, or UV rotary screen products, to produce similar results of density or opacity. 

These inks can also be used in combination with other EkoCure products or conventional UV curing inks systems.
