Friday 21. May 2010 - Sun Chemical, Comexi Group, and ESI will present the latest in flexographic printing at a dedicated Open House event on June 1, 2, and 3 2010. The new eCOMEXI flexographic presses with the Sun Chemical WetFlex ink system and the proven EZCure from ESI will be demonstrated at the Comexi Group facility in Girona, Spain, alongside a new flexographic press based on the FLEXOEfficiency concept, slitting and rewinding technologies from the Comexi Group.
The continuing market need for shorter runs with gravure-like quality of print, at the cost of flexo, the WetFlex system is the ideal print solution for new press investments. As a low migration, low odour, high resistance system, WetFlex finds itself in a uniquely advantageous position for the food packaging print market, as well as demanding jobs in outdoor garden applications
The Wetflex ink system will be utilised on the eComexi EB flexo system which not only works 100% solventless and VOC-free, but also prints with the highest quality achievable today, all without adding cost to the overall process.
Manel Xifra, Comexis CEO, explains the purpose of the open house event: “Experts from Comexi Group, Sun chemical and ESI will be available throughout the event to talk to existing and potential customers about the total print process costs, the latest eCOMEXI, WetFlex and EZCure solutions, multi-colour process printing, our solution versatility and the significant environmental benefits associated with the technology. We look forward to sharing the benefits with all those who attend in June.”
Speaking ahead of the open house event Felipe Mellado, Sun Chemicals Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Weve been working in close collaboration with Comexi for the past four years to hone the Wetflex technology and product. Wetflex incorporates the best in low migration, low odour, low enviro-impact, high resistance benefits and answers a genuine market need for innovative packaging solutions.”
