Visitors to COMPETENCE 18 will see the full range of BOBST expertise in printing technologies displayed together for the first time at the event. BOBST produces solutions for the printing of labels, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrugated boards with the most comprehensive technologies (e.g. gravure, flexo and inkjet including multi-process printing).
In terms of available press layout and configurations, there is web-fed or sheet-fed; reel to reel, reel to sheet, and sheet to sheet. And in the case of multi-process lines, from reel or sheet to the die-cut boxes or labels in one pass, there is central impression or inline configurations, narrow to extra-large-web, and the list goes on.
In 2013, BOBST launched one of the most revolutionary concepts: the REVO Digital Flexo project, applicable to its range of web-fed narrow-web inline flexo presses. Developed within a technology team of leading industry partners, the REVO has succeeded in making available to converters a turnkey 7-color Extended Color Gamut (ECG) printing process and digitized workflow just as suitable for labels, flexible and carton packaging production. REVO is a closed loop solution with fixed partners for consumables, hardware and software equipment and devices.
In 2017, BOBST introduced a fixed color palette for corrugated board post print – the THQ (Très Haute Qualité) FlexoCloud technology. All spot colors are realized from the process colors and there is an integrated process with printing plates and inks from exclusive suppliers and a cloud application for coordinating production. THQ technology also enables new and unique security features required by brand owners.
“BOBST was an initiator of the industry move towards the fixed color palette printing, which is a strategy we are committed to, at group level,” explained Federico D’Annunzio, strategic products marketing director, BOBST Business Unit Web-fed.”
This is why the ECG system introduced in 2018 for BOBST wide-web CI flexo printing presses is an open system. “We looked at making the ECG process always work optimally on our latest 20SEVEN CI flexo press, be it with solvent-based or water-based inks, and with different pre-press suppliers,” he concluded.
