Invested a flexohd from ESKOARTWORK

HD Flexo is the next step in high quality flexo printing. HD Flexo is a new process for making digital flexographic (flexo) plates. The improved plates are higher quality and print more consistently than standard digital flexo plates. HD Flexo may be implemented without scrapping existing equipment and working methods.
The quality of offset and gravure printing has always been somewhat of a Holy Grail for flexo. But, with HD Flexo, the gap is closed. Bringing consistency, vibrant colors and increased print quality, HD Flexo raises the industry standard in flexo printing. Flexo printing can now compete with offset for quality labels. In addition, digital plate exposure ensures greater consistency in plate production and in printing.

HD Flexo combines 4000 dpi HD optics with unique printing screening technologies to achieve sharper and more accurate imaging. The result is excellent print quality and a simplified plate production because the high-resolution optics delivers sharper imaging of text and lines and more clearly defined, better shaped screen dots.

Bisphenol A and our labels

Bisphenol A is a frequently used substance in the plastics industry etc.
In cases where Bisphenol A occurs in thermal materials it is a component of the chemical coating that gives the black text. This chemical layer is bound in the material and on top of this there is another coating layer. This means that the skin does not come into contact with the substance. Our previous Eco quality has a top coating binding the chemical as of April this year.
Additionally the coating layer is further thickened when the thermal surface is printed or coloured.
Bisphenol A has been used and researched for decades. The information we have from our suppliers show that the amount of Bisphenol A is completely harmless both to humans and nature.
If you want more detailed information about Bisphenol A, the Chemicals Inspectorate has a technical description of the substance and it is also described in PRIO (database on substances at www.kemi.se).
