Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd. launched its new high strength UV flexo ink series, PureTone, on the first day of Labelexpo Europe 2015.
The PureTone range includes a high strength, mono-pigmented mixing ink system, which comprises nine base colors with the addition of a special Royal blue plus extender.
The single pigment formulation of the nine mixing bases makes it easier to color match due to the reduced total number of pigments used in the mixed ink. The high strength formulation allows for lower film weights of ink, resulting in reduced inventory and lower ink volume consumption for narrow web printers and provides greater flexibility for printing half-tones and full-tones using just one printing plate.
A growing trend for more complex graphics, increased product variations, shorter runs and a greater focus on color consistency in product packaging and branding, has led to the use of more spot colors, resulting in increased press set-up times and more ink mixing, all of which, without color control, can result in greater downtime.
Predictable and measureable color, combined with pre-press proofing to replicate color off-line, ensures consistent and repeatable color therefore ultimately benefits the label producer though reduced downtime, greater press efficiencies and increased profitability.
“PureTone offers the global narrow web label industry an exciting concept in UV flexo ink technology which, supported by software and equipment from leading industry suppliers, provides a total color management solution and color standardization, which label printers will benefit from through long-term cost savings,” said Gary Seward, managing director, Pulse Roll Label Products.
