UV Flexo Press Competes with Gravure

Published: April 01, 2004, By Edited by Deborah Donberg

Casia s.r.o., Trutnov, Czech Republic, is making inroads into the gravure market so prevalent in that part of the world. What's making this happen is a UV flexo press from GEW designated the Soma.

The eight-color, 31.5-in.-wide press includes a corona treater and web cleaner for processing film, plastic, paper, and board substrates. It is equipped with GEW's CDTS (Central Drum Thermal Stabilization) feature, which is said to eliminate problems associated with press frame temperature fluctuations.

GEW says the press is enabling Casia to compete in gravure markets not only in the Czech Republic but in Poland and Slovakia as well.
