Flint intros nyloflex FAM Digital plates worldwide

Flint Group is introducing its nyloflex FAM Digital printing plate to a worldwide audience after successfully launching the product in North America.

Flint's nyloflex FAM Digital plates were first launched in North America during spring 2011. Now, nyloflex FAM Digital plates are offered in 1.14mm and 1.70mm thicknesses around the world.

Flint Group Flexographic Products said the medium hard digital photopolymer printing plate is ideal for clean printing of fine image elements and smooth solids.

This makes nyloflex FAM Digital plates suitable for a broad range of applications, especially flexible packaging printing, Flint said. Usable for a wide variety of both absorbent and non-absorbent substrates ranging from textured to very smooth surfaces, the plates are able to print fine process details as well as solids. Nyloflex FAM Digital plates require a lower impression setting, resulting in clean print results and lower dot gain as compared to traditional plates on the market of the same durometer range.
 
In addition, due to its robust and hard-wearing properties, the plates exhibit a long run life with less cleaning stops on press, thus being more economical for the user.
