FLEXO INK PROOFER

PITF Printing Proofers are designed for realistic printability testing and enable colour matching off-press. Using a solvent-resistant impression roller is ideal for quality control and presentation samples of flexographic and water-based inks on numerous forms of flexible substrates.

APPLICATION

• Testing of printing suitability of flexographic and water-based inks on flexible substrates such as film, paper, plastics, etc.
• Simulation of actual prints.
• Research and development of ink products.
• Testing printability of adhesive and labels, film and foil, as well as surface properties.

ADVANTAGES

• Colour matching can be done off-press, reducing in-press waste and minimizing press downtime and press parameter replications eliminate the expense of sourcing final plates and running production press trials for customer approvals.
• Service lifetime can last up to 20 years, with reduced operational costs for inks and consumables, in comparison to digital proofing.
• Printing and lamination can be applied to nearly any flexible substrate including the film, paper etc.
• Micro-meter delivers up to 98% accurate printability to match production results.
• Various ink samples can be printed together at the same time and high printing speeds allow for the use of inks nearing press viscosity.
• Flexo proofing identifies the faults that digital proofing can’t, such as manufacturing errors in plates and sleeves before the final production is carried out.
