Dirk Winkler, Head of Print Technology at KBA-Sheetfed, added: “We’ve achieved excellent and stable results with printing inks from Flint Group, not only in connection with our ‘conventional ink’ benchmarking, but also during periodic high-performance tests in the areas of packaging, commercial and web2print applications or label printing. And when a product meets our high expectations, we gladly recommend it to our users around the world.” He cited specific advantages including reduced ink consumption, high colour brilliance and contrast, smooth reproduction, convenient handling, and the reliable printing of solids. Equally important, he added, is the cooperation to develop and standardize new ink systems, along with the joint support for users, especially in the food-packaging sector.
KBA-Sheetfed will continue to work with Flint Group on a global basis. This includes use of the inks for print demonstrations in its customer centre, during training at its company training centre, in its design and development departments, at tradeshows and customer events, and for the factory testing of new presses. Flint Group inks will also be included in KBA press starter kits and continuous product development.
