The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has selected the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System as the sole recipient of its 2009 Flexographic Technical Association Technical Innovation Award. Presented on May 3 at the Foundation of Flexographic Technical Associations 2009 Annual Forum and INFO*FLEX Exhibition, the award recognizes companies that have developed new or improved innovative technology and printing techniques.
Flexography, a printing process that uses a flexible printing plate, is widely used for the printing of folding cartons, flexible packages, and labels. The packaging market continues to grow as demand for consumer packaged goods remains strong, and the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System provides printers with previously unachievable print quality on a wide variety of substrates.
“Kodak brings a wealth of knowledge and market insight to its family of flexo platemaking solutions, and to be recognized by one of the industrys premier associations speaks to the quality, efficiency, and productivity weve been able to deliver to customers with the FLEXCEL NX System,” said John Cross, General Manager, Packaging Products, Prepress Solutions, Kodak.
The FTA congratulated Kodak for having its technology chosen as the sole recipient of the award. The association noted that the judging was once again very competitive, and the award is highly respected within the industry.
