Get a Head Start Optimizing White Ink Based on 36 Printing Tests

In this webinar, we present “best combinations” from real print tests with White Ink.  We completed 36 print tests using 5 anilox volumes, 4 plate types, 9 surface patterns, 2 ink types, and 3 different print speeds.  After the print tests, we measured the opacity of each possible combination and used a microscope to capture the ink homogeneity.

Key Take-Aways

  • “Best” anilox volume, surface pattern & ink type combination
  • Comparison of white opacity with different print speeds & white ink types
  • Cost/benefit/improvement analysis

New Approach of Optimizing the Wide Web Flexo Press at DFTA Technology Center

This webinar takes a closer look at the strategy and process of the DFTA to optimize their own press. Flexography offers freedom in terms of substrates, inks, plates, tapes, etc. The challenge is to use this flexibility in a way that all parameters interact in an optimum way to achieve a high quality and consistent print result.

Key Take-Aways

  • Optimizing: a technical approach from DFTA
  • Optimizing: a production-based approach from Esko using Print Control Wizard
  • Expected results from a good optimization project using MacDermid Plates, Apex GTT aniloxes, Esko Screening and XPS exposure
