(r) Kristensen: "As demands grow for shorter production runs, the need to optimise ink circulation will only become more acute."

The chamber blade programme is developed for label, packaging and industrial flexo printing. For narrow-web printing, the closed-cassette FlexiPrint Reservoir needs no pump and operates at press speeds of up to 300m/min.

Henrik Kristensen, vice-president, Tresu Ancillary, said, “As demands grow for shorter production runs and exacting colour standards, the need to optimise ink circulation will only become more acute. Our ancillary systems answer this need by providing a means of controlling the flow from the bucket to the anilox roll, in virtually all flexo printing situations.”

Besides this, Tresu Group also showcased flexo ancillary solutions that automatically control ink circulation, thus reducing makeready time and assuring uniform quality. The company highlighted its coating technology for digitally printed folding cartons via a table-top presentation.

Capital Graphic Supplies/AS Print Aids is the Indian representative of Tresu. Arun Gandhi of Capital Graphic Supplies/AS Print Aids, said, “You name the OEMs and they are using Tresu products, whether it is Indian or overseas.”
