<strong>Flexocure</strong><br />
Ebony
<strong>Flexocure</strong> EbonyTM <strong>Flexocure</strong> EbonyTM � Black is the most critical shade as all printers<br />
want excellent density with high curing speed<br />
� That, hard to obtain with traditional black<br />
inks, is now a step ahead with <strong>Flexocure</strong><br />
Ebony TM .
<strong>Flexocure</strong> EbonyTM <strong>Flexocure</strong> EbonyTM Excellent Density combined with Best<br />
cure rate & Adhesion creates<br />
opportunities<br />
� <strong>Flexocure</strong> Ebony TM has the highest possible<br />
density at low film thickness (density of 1,6 at<br />
film weight 0,7 g/m2). <strong>Flexocure</strong> Ebony TM can<br />
be used with Low to Medium volume aniloxes at<br />
high speeds.<br />
� <strong>Flexocure</strong> Ebony TM has the highest possible cure<br />
speed at high densities (press speed of 120<br />
m/min at density 1,85 is possible)<br />
� <strong>Flexocure</strong> Ebony TM has excellent adhesion<br />
properties also at high densities (press speed of<br />
+60 m/min at density 2,3 is possible)

UV flexo<br />
PS Paper<br />
� To get optimal adhesion and printability<br />
– Follow recommendations from substrate supplier<br />
– As flexo is a “kiss” printing process is it very important to optimize<br />
the combination of anilox roller, plate and tape to get the optimal<br />
laydown which will enhance the printability and adhesion<br />
– UV flexo printing process is very sensitive to dust as it will give<br />
hickies in the print. Usage of web cleaning device on the web will<br />
help this.<br />
– The hold out can vary from paper to paper and ink system to ink<br />
system. Worst case is with low film weight at very low press speed.<br />
– Optimal condition for humidity is 40-60%<br />
– Bad adhesion can often be caused by bad curing, check the ink<br />
curing!

� To get optimal adhesion<br />
– Follow recommendations from substrate supplier<br />
– Surface tension needs to be above 38 dyne/cm<br />
– Use corona treatment if needed<br />
– If top coated substrates are corona treated water resistance can be<br />
reduced<br />
– As flexo is a “kiss” printing process is it very important to optimize<br />
the combination of anilox roller, plate and tape to get the optimal lay<br />
down which will enhance the adhesion<br />
– Optimal condition for humidity is 40-60%<br />
– Bad adhesion can often be caused by bad curing, check the ink<br />
curing!<br />
– The adhesion can be improved by adding adhesion promoter to the<br />
ink
