Flint launches LithocureR Ancora, narrow web's UV offset ink range

Deanna Whelan, global marketing manager, packaging and narrow web, Flint Group, said, “Flint Group knows the need for low migration solutions which goes further and beyond UV flexo, extending into UV offset, specialty metallic, coatings and adhesives. We are expanding our range of products that are suitable for low migration label and package printing.”

“Ancora is a robust, reliable, high performance UV offset ink with documented results in migration testing. LithocureR Ancora has proved to pass migration demands for all food stimulants set up in the latest directives,” added Whelan.

LithocureR Ancora was custom designed to deliver multiple benefits including very low migration ¡V tested, proven and documented; a maximised water/fount window and lowest possible water pickup which ensures press stability over extended press hours; with curing properties. Printers will also experience improved productivity and consistent print quality at high printing speeds. A mono-pigmented range with very high colour strength allows inks to be used in formulating clean and accurate colour matches.

These true low migration UV offset inks are now available in Europe and will be available in North America by March 2014.

Flint Group offers a full range of UV low migration inks including UV flexo, UV offset, UV metallic, UV flexo cold foiling adhesive, UV flexo laminating adhesive, UV flexo Low COF Shrink White, and several other UV flexo coatings.
