UTILITY
Bobst CI flexo printing machines combine advanced technologies and smart features to enable the highest productivity and maximise CI flexo process consistency. Also, the company’s technical solutions make it a perfect fit for the requirements of the seven-colour extended colour gamut printing process. Based on an ergonomic design for cost-effective productivity across all run lengths, the machines allow customers to take on a wider range of print jobs for ultra-short, short, medium as well as long runs and is suitable for a wide range of substrates — film, paper, laminates, aluminium foil and non-woven. It is suitable for solvent, water, UV and electron-beam inks and offers perfect control on the printing process at high speeds to match gravure quality.

POPULARITY QUOTIENT
The machines are popular because they have unrivalled print quality with the printing of finest dots, highest graphic resolution and anti-bouncing design at the highest speeds. This can be solely attributed to the robustness and sturdiness, which are a distinctive characteristic of the machines. The machines went through multiple innovations over time and have proven to be user-friendly with satisfied customers. It is a printer’s choice when it comes to perfecting challenging graphics at high LPI to match gravure quality.

DEVELOPMENT IN CI FLEXO
The level of automation has increased immensely. So, the change is revolutionary and not incremental. Since flexo has the highest number of variables among wide-web printing technologies on plastic films/ paper, bringing these under controlled systems has been one of the biggest achievements in flexo. The precision level needed in order to deliver quality on par with gravure has made quantum leaps. Extended colour gamut has now become a proven system and a preferred choice with leading brand owners and mature converters due to the multiple advantages it brings.
