Our Capabilities

Digital Flexo

A true hybrid press, in every sense of the word – providing comprehensive, inkjet technology across a wide range of substrate and narrow web applications

DFlex Printer 181x121mm 01

The d-Flex allows for roll-to-roll converting including CMYK(W) digital UV /  inkjet in-line flexo printing, corona treatment, laminating, flood / spot varnishing, die cutting and perforating in one operation. It can also be used as a standalone flexo press for printing and converting plain or one colour labels. It uses the same tooling as our other flexo presses so our full library of cutter sizes are available to use.

Technology

The modular inkjet system is 223mm wide, with running speeds of up to 50mts / min. The d-Flex is based on Konica Minolta technology, a trusted global brand that has been manufacturing inkjet systems for many years. The CMYK head prints 600dpi and is UV cured, the dual white head is 300dpi and is LED pinned before full UV cured. The addition of white allows for printing onto transparent filmic substrates, aluminium foil or overprinting onto dark background colours.

A wide range of substrates can be printed without the need for special coatings such as paper, polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene. This means we can print onto most of our stock materials which includes specialist ranges from the likes of 3M and Avery Dennison. However, we do have an In-line corona treatment on the press which is designed to increase the surface energy of substrates to allow improved wettability and adhesion of inks, coatings and adhesives. As a result, the materials treated will demonstrate improved printing and coating quality, and stronger lamination strength.

As the d-Flex has digital print technology it is best suited to the following label categories:

  • Multi sort, short runs – ideal as no plate charges and quick setup and design changes
  • Multi colour industrial long-term labelling required on rolls
  • High volume colour or mono variable information – quicker to convert in one pass over thermal transfer
