Flint Group introduced PremoCup water-based flexo packaging inks for paper cup applications. PremoCup delivers wet and dry rub resistance without affecting print quality, utilizes Flint Group’s building block formulating technology, and comes with a wide operating window that substantially reduces the variation in print quality caused by inconsistent coating weights commonly observed with long standing technology.
The trend for paper cup printers is for increased print fidelity and complex designs to enhance appeal. High fidelity graphics are pushing the limits of conventional ink systems, andwith PremoCup, Flint Group responds to these challenges.
“While printing PremoCup at a key customer facility, it was clear that PremoCup printed cleaner allowing the customer to only shut down for routine cleaning at shift changes rather than multiple times during the shift – increasing their overall productivity and resulting in high quality graphics,” said Tony Parrish, Flint Group account executive.
“The viscosity stability and extremely wide operating window associated with PremoCup is essential to reducing the color and density variation common with traditional inks that require frequent amine adjustments to maintain viscosity,” added Lloyd Woodrum, product manager, Paper & Board North America.
PremoCup inks can be prepared to match accepted color standards as a finished ink, or supplied as PremoNova dispersions and extenders for use in an ink dispensing system.
