Flint Group’s EkoCure products are widely used in health and beauty, beverage and household labeling applications. The two new UV LED Rotary Screen whites are:
- A “first down” UV LED rotary screen white with improved adhesion to many newer films in the marketplace today. Along with outstanding opacity and whiteness, this opaque white cures and prints smoothly at higher speeds than traditional products.
- A “second down” white, which is used when a white is needed in a print sequence that is “trapped” between other print layers. This white will print over UV flexo colors and then be able to be printed upon by other print technologies and will yield good print quality along with excellent adhesion and scratch resistance under severe test conditions.
