Bobst to host Revo masterclass in Italy

Set up in 2014, Revo is a grouping of technology leaders in flexography that has been formed to optimize the flexo process by ‘digitalizing’ the whole manufacturing workflow, with the aim to reach new standards in the printing and converting of labels and packaging.

The event will see all the Revo partners – Americk Packaging, Apex International, AVT, Bobst, DuPont, Esko, Flint Group, UPM Raflatac and X-Rite Pantone – present a comprehensive half day program of classes. These will be held in the morning and repeated in the afternoon, and will give visitors the opportunity to learn and discuss the applications and advantages of the Revo process. Live machine demonstrations will show the Revo technologies in action.

Bobst equipment to be demonstrated will include the mid web M6 in-line UV flexo press equipped with Digital Flexo technology, printing flexible packaging in the morning and carton packaging in the afternoon. The narrow web M1 in-line flexo press dedicated to label applications will also be shown, printing self-adhesive labels.

Federico D’Annunzio, strategic products marketing director of the Bobst web-fed business unit, explained: ‘We believe that the future of the printing industry and printing technologies, be they analogue or digital, is in a workflow which can be digitally measured and validated by global digital quality standards.’

The Bobst Competence Center at Bobst Firenze is home to the Revo Academy.
