Bobst has launched its THQ (Très Haute Qualité) FlexoCloud technology which the company says is serving growing needs by enhancing flexo quality and counterfeit protection.
The technology was developed by Graphilabel, a specialist in graphic solutions for narrow web, security and anti-counterfeit solutions, and adapted by Bobst.
According to the company THQ FlexoCloud is a very easy-to-use flexo solution for corrugated board involving only three key elements; THQ ceramic rolls (supplied by BOBST), THQ CMYK inks plus varnish for high graphic jobs (supplied by Siegwerk) and THQ printing plates (supplied by Graphilabel). It is the plates which are the core to the technology due to a colour separation algorithm. It is associated with ultra-high precision, a larger range with four colours and enables excellent anti-counterfeit security printing through invisible coded messages.
‘This innovative technology enables amazing results,’ said Dominique Ravot, sales & marketing director, Bobst Lyon. ‘For post-print flexo on corrugated board, it brings unmatched quality at lower cost in one pass. The feedback we received from the seminars has been overwhelmingly positive and supports our belief that the THQ FlexoCloud represents the opportunity for our customers to make the difference and increase their market share.’
THQ FlexoCloud Technology is available on a wide range of new BOBST post print flexo machines.
