INX International Ink Co., producer of inks and color management technologies, introduced GelFlex-EB gel-based inks for CI flexo printing. The surface print ink system has print quality similar to gravure and provides a cross-linked, durable ink film that eliminates the need for a lamination layer, reducing costs and total package weight. The inks produce print designs suitable for food packaging and other consumer applications.
“We understand there are specific expectations of brand owners, converters and printers, ranging from maintaining the print quality of graphics to providing yearly cost reductions through improved efficiencies and package light-weighting. GelFlex-EB inks address these concerns and present several opportunities,” says Renee Schouten, INX director of marketing.
