Developed for both narrow and wide web printing, Flint Group Flexographic Products rolls out the nyloflex® FAB printing plate, an extremely flexible plate, for use with UV & water based printing inks and smaller press cylinders, making it ideal for label printing. FAB exhibits some of the highest imaging and print quality attainable from a photopolymer printing plate. "With a durometer of approximately 62 Shore A and resolution easily exceeding 200 lpi screen count, the high ink compatibility and improved flexibility of nyloflex® FAB provides a much needed step forward in capability for the label market," explained Dan Rosen, Sales Director for Flint Group.
