NOVEMBER 2008 - UV FLEXO SILVER

Pulse Roll Label Products has announced the launch of SFLEX a high performance, UV flexo silver ink formulated to provide optimised pigment stability, long term gloss retention properties, and brilliance while reducing anilox volume.

States Mr. Gary Seward, Managing Director, "Today's printers are under pressure to supply high, stand-alone graphic impact and metallic ink is one way of achieving this. With SFLEX we have addressed brightness and over-printability issues, as well as the tendency for pigment from silver inks to settle out in the tray. This is an issue that demands constant attention from the press operator.

Adds Vince Reid, Production Manager of Lincolnshire based Superior Labels, "We have printed a label for one of the Tesco Finest range of products with the new silver from Pulse. "It was brighter, better curing and demonstrated much improved over-printability with the UV flexo black".

Concludes Seward, "SFLEX has been the subject of extensive trials that have proved its pigment stability, gloss retention and reduction in anilox volume making it an advancement to current technology. It has also passed the climate test demonstrating exceptional long-term stability at higher temperatures. This will enable our customers to both safely store and print with this product in locations with elevated temperatures".

Over the past few years Pulse have continued to improve its technical portfolio and increase its product range. The latest product, in an ever growing list is

UV Flexo Silver - RLM277-09.

We took the market leader and the industry standard product and aimed to improve it in as many ways as possible. The gloss, brilliance, density, stability and overprint ability.

We have been testing this in certain accounts over the last 2 months with a very positive response and are now ready for our launch.

UV Flexo Silver - RLM277-09 is now in stock and ready for you to test.

We recently printed a label for a product in the Tesco Finest range with the new Sflex silver ink launched by Pulse Roll Label Products. When working with such a large client you need to ensure the end results will be fantastic. We found that the ink was brighter than other products we have used. It also provided great curing properties. We opted for the brand as it is a UV flexo metallic ink, which offers pigment stability and gloss retention properties so we new it would look good on the shelves. Today, printers are under pressure to supply high impact graphics and metallic ink is one way of achieving this. Sflex also addressed over-printability issues. This is a problem that demands constant attention from the press operator and so it was a relief not to have to worry about it.
