Jordi Quera, Regional Business Manager of Esko Iberia, presented HD Flexo in Barcelona. It is an exposure technology that combines: high resolution (HR) at 4.000 ppi and high definition (HD) raster technology. The benefits with the implementation of HD Flexo are: elimination of the rosette with the use of high lineatures, smooth gradients to zero, sharper line work, better definition of the screen points and increased density, thanks to the use of screens of High Definition. HD Flexo is present in any segment of packaging: labels, flexible packaging, cardboard, corrugated cardboard ...
During the event, the experience of Rako Etiketten, a label manufacturer based in Germany, one of the most important in Europe, was explained. HD Flexo was installed in January 2009 and exceeded customer expectations, exceeding offset quality, with better ink transfer, and also achieving better dot definition. Finally, Raúl Sanz, director of operations of Polibol, a graphic arts company located in Zaragoza, intervened, which last May obtained the first HD Flexo certification granted in Spain to a printing plant.
