RK PrintCoat Instruments and Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd have entered into a partnership that will see FlexiProof 100/UV used for pre-press proofing of the narrow web ink and varnish specialist’s PureTone inks.
RK PrintCoat’s FlexiProof 100/UV will be used with PureTone inks for off-press color matching.
“Supported by software and equipment from leading industry suppliers, PureTone provides an innovative label ink solution, satisfying a growing demand for greater color control and accuracy, ensuring that printers benefit through long-term cost savings and that color standardization for brands and end users becomes the norm,” said Gary Seward, managing director of Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd, said.
“The success also highlights the benefits of working in close partnership across the supply chain,” Seward added. “In terms of pre-press proofing, our relationship with RK Print Coat Instruments means that we can offer our customers a total color management package. The benefits of using the FlexiProof 100/UV is that it eliminates press downtime by color matching off-press as the FlexiProof 100/UV is essentially a scaled down but component critical exact version of a full sized flexo press.”
“Technological advancements in UV inks, coatings and varnishes in recent years have been made easier by the corresponding advances in quality assurance and product development equipment,” said Tom Kerchiss, RK PrintCoat Instruments managing director. “Devices such as the FlexiProof can be used by everyone in the supply chain, from substrate manufacturer to ink/coating supplier to printer/converter; it can be used as an educational tool to further research into flexo and for operator training and even for the testing/trialing of components such as anilox rolls and doctor blades, etc.”
