After the successful launches of REVO's Digital Flexo Revolution in Europe (June 2014) and the USA (September 2014), the project team of experts from Adare, Apex International, AVT, DuPont, Esko, Flint, Nuova GIDUE and UPM Raflatac gathered together on April 23rd for the 8th REVO meeting. This time DuPont's headquarters in Neu-Isenburg was the stage of the Labelexpo Europe kick-off meeting.
Bringing the Simplicity of Digital printing to Flexo
One year after the launch, the REVO Team has shown Flexoprinters how to compete against Digital printing by digitalizing the flexo process and achieving true 7 color separation. The REVO Team managed to create an absolute stable transfer from ink-to-plate and from ink-to-substrate, a crucial parameter for fixed palette printing. Adare's Technical Director - Daragh Whelan – using REVO technology for almost 12 months - comments: "REVO Technology uses LM UV Flexo Inks, Digital Automation "from pre-press to printing process" and extended colour gamut, that allows the achievement of repeatable and predictable PMS shades without changing Anilox and Inks. The most important benefits of REVO Technology are the repeatability and predictability of the printing results, short set-up times, less waste, total graphic flexibility to reproduce unlimited colours on the same job and fast change-overs that do not need any manual intervention from the operator."
Printing with UV Low-Migration – yes we can!
There is more, REVO will show its value to Mid-Web Flexible packaging printers, an increasing new audience at Labelexpo Europe. The REVO Plug&Play concept will be adjusted to printing Low Migration UV inks onto Flexible substrates.
"We are excited to announce that the entire REVO team will be at Label Expo Brussels where we will once again prove to the flexo industry the power of our cooperation. We will demonstrate new revolutionary processes never seen before on a flexo press. Keep an eye on the media, more details will be revealed soon!" declare the whole REVO Team.
