Flint Grouping Flexographic Introduces new nyloflex® FTL Digital Flat Top Dot Plate for the Corrugated Post-print Market

With nyloflex FTL Digital Flint Group announced the launch of a very low durometer flat-top dot flexographic printing plate for printing on sustainable substrates with a higher content of recycled fibers and other paper and board applications in combination with water-based inks. The core advantage of this new plate is the out-of-the-box reliable performance in fluting reduction in corrugated mail service-print east.g. delivering a very appealing print performance on substrates like uncoated test liners or kraft liners in combination with a B flute.

From the beginning, printing on corrugated board has been troubled by the fluting phenomenon. Apart from other factors, the liner quality is one influencing variable. Another one is the dot shape of the press elements on the flexo plate. "Flexographic plates with apartment superlative dots, in dissimilarity to mutual digital plates with round top dots, can reduce the unwanted fluting effect," explains Eva Freudenthaler, vice president, Engineering science at Flint Group Flexographic.

Aiming for the highest print quality and hence the lowest fluting effect as well every bit for a very good solid ink density (SID), the nyloflex FTL Digital is able to reduce operating costs and waste. It provides the possibility to use more recycled fibers in the substrate without sacrificing print quality. Because of the combination of screens and solids on a unmarried plate even on difficult substrates, it is possible to save plate material past up to 50% and reduce press setup time to annals the plates. The inherent adequacy of the plate to grade flat-peak dots with uncomplicated UV-A tube exposure keeps the plate making process simple and cost-effective as neither extra steps like plate lamination nor actress consumables or special FTD exposure equipment are required.

"Since the launch of the nyloflex FTC Digital in 2022 we already offer a valued flat-height dot plate to the corrugated post-print market. It has proven to be very versatile with respect to substrates that information technology tin cope with, delivering first-class highlights in combination with good fluting reduction. Due to its higher durometer information technology naturally reaches its limit though at the everyman terminate liner qualities," explains Freudenthaler. "That is why we have supplemented our plate portfolio with the nyloflex FTL supporting the continuing tendency to more price-effective liners."
