Comments: Zeller+Gmelin GmbH (ZG), an Eislingen, Germany-based specialist in UV inks and varnishes, continues to thrive in the growing UV market, as the company develops new products, including low migration UV inks for food packaging.
R&D is an important emphasis at Zeller+Gmelin, and the company recently launched its Nuvaflex Series of UV flexo inks. Nuvaflex inks are silicone- and wax-free, and rival offset quality by enabling fine line screens and reverses to be printed at low BCM counts, while minimizing film weight. The series also offers the ability to adhere to difficult film, as well as low viscosity and free flow rheology, low odor and extractable components, varnish-like gloss, minimal to no plate swelling and speeds of more than 700 feet per minute.
In an important personnel move, Dr. Uwe Dreyer joined Zeller+Gmelin as the head of its printing inks division, Germany.
