Japanese ink manufacturer invests in CI flexo technology for product development
Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals, a Japanese ink manufacturer, has invested in a KBA-Flexotecnica Evo XD CI flexo press to support the development of new inks for flexible packaging printing.
Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals develops, manufactures and sells a wide range of both functional printing inks and offset inks for flyers, books and packaging materials, as well as inorganic, organic and prepared pigments for printing, paints and other applications.
The 8-color KBA-Flexotecnica Evo XD is to be used to test new water-based inks, specifically for printing on plastic films. At the same time, packaging printers will be able to run trials of innovative materials without interrupting their own production.
Naoki Tanimoto, technical division manager at Dainichiseika, commented: ‘With the Evo XD, we have found exactly the press we were looking for. The technology and quality of the press meet all our high demands.’
The KBA-Flexotecnica Evo XD is set for commissioning at the Dainichiseika production facility in Tokyo by September.
