Cheshire Anilox Technology’s Record Success at Label Expo Europe 2013

More label converters turned to Cheshire’s innovative technologies at this year’s Label Expo Europe to help them improve print quality and discover new ways to transform their business. Sonia Arcos, Technical Sales Director for Cheshire Anilox Technology, said, “Label Expo Europe was the first public showing of our new engraving the maxfloUV which has attracted a huge interest because of its print versatility and innovative way of resolving the long standing problem of UV spitting”

“Visitor numbers to our stand far surpassed Label Expo 2011 and the number of new contacts made and sales orders placed have increased beyond expectations.” She added.

“It was a success in terms of interest and now there’s a lot of follow-up work to do, but that’s what shows are about – what you do after Label Expo is just as important as what you do in the build-up.”

Many label printers from all across the world visited Cheshire Anilox stand to learn more about its highly innovative  engravings for challenging flexo applications such as opaque whites, hd printing and combination print and how Cheshire is working with printers to manage the trends that are changing the way ‘print’ will be purchased and used in the future.

Some of the products that proved popular with visitors were the MaxfloUV Anilox, shown in Europe for the first time,  the easyflo hd for mimicking screen printed opaque whites and the proflo Anilox for full HD printing.

Paul Smith Managing Director of Cheshire Anilox Technology, added “we were overwhelmed by the number of visitors and subsequent enquiries received.  We met with key potential customers and remain encouraged that we will achieve an increase on sales from our attendance in the show”

New “break-through” engraving for UV printing at Label Expo

Cheshire Anilox Technology to show new “break-through” engraving for UV printing at Label Expo

Cheshire Anilox Technology Ltd. has announced the launch of what it claims is a ‘ground-breaking’ new engraving, MaxfloUV,  that maximizes the ink flow within the cells offering higher ink transfer at high speeds.

The new engraving is particularly suited to be used with the latest generation of high strength UV inks offering outstanding levels of colour density and a more even, consistent lay down without the problem of over inking and spitting sometimes encountered when using conventional engravings.

“Until now, highly pigmented UV inks would cause spitting when printing at high speeds” explains Sonia Arcos Sales Director of Cheshire Anilox Technology. “Following requests from our customers Cheshire Anilox specifically developed this new engraving to overcome this problem”

This unique cell profile incorporates all the benefits of its predecessor the maxflo but with an enhanced design enabling the ink to flow freely from cell to cell.  As press speeds increase, the ability to consistently and effectively fill the cells on the Anilox with ink in order to deliver a uniform ink film thickness to the plate becomes more challenging. The cell depth-to-opening ratio is of critical importance. Deeper cells may mean greater volume. However, if the surface tension of the printing plate is too low to pull the particles of ink from the cell, then transfer will be very poor. By widening the bottom of the cell we have improved the ink transfer. By linking the cells we have eased the ink flow which causes UV spitting or spray that happens when a build-up of ink stay behind the doctor blade causing vibrations that will result in spitting.

The new engraving has undergone extensive field tests with Cheshire Anilox Technology  customers and has been ‘engineered to perfection’. Samples printed with maxflo uv will be displayed at Label Expo.

Cheshire Anilox Technology will also present a wide range of innovative engraving technologies to suit the most challenging applications in flexo:

Proflo An engraving specifically developed for HD printing. It provides an increased ink transfer while also eliminating the chance of uncontrolled dot gain at ultra-fine line counts (+600L/cm). This now allows flexo printers to work with the expanded tone range of offset and rotogravure printing techniques.

EasyFlo HD for high opacity whites, achieves opacity levels of screen printing at faster speeds in one single pass.
