GELFLEX-EB IS SUPERIOR TO TRADITIONAL INKS
Gelflex-EB creates package print that withstands shipping and handling better than traditional solvent ink, providing superior print protection from production to the store shelf. This enables the printer and brand owner to consider strategies to reduce or eliminate laminations in favor of surface print. Whether its gloss or matte, Gelflex-EB can produce a wide array of eye-catching print designs using multi-colored palettes as well as various tactile packaging surfaces.
Gelflex EB
SUPERIOR PRINTING QUALITY
Gelflex-EB inks have the highest physical properties and are resistant to scuffs, abrasions, and chemicals. Higher density EB inks result in thinner wet (and dry) laydowns resulting in brilliant colors, dazzling highlights and denser solid area. The strongest, thinnest film of ink, while maintaining color density, always prints best, and smaller dots – 180-220 lines per inch – and less dot gain (50% less than solvent inks) result in smooth vignettes and gradients.
Gelflex EB Cost Effective
REDUCED COSTS
Gelflex-EB is the cost-efficient choice when it comes to innovative EB technology. When compared to using solvent-based inks, Gelflex-EB saves capital costs related to explosion-proofing the printing process as well as costs associated with the destruction and/or collection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Printers can also save energy costs as well as benefit from extended gamut printing when using Gelflex-EB.
Gelflex EB Safety
INCREASED SAFETY
Gelflex-EB is compliant with migration limits established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and it also meets the Nestle packaging requirement as well as chemical composition requirements established by the Swiss Ordinance. After the Gelflex-EB printing process is complete, it’s virtually impossible for solvents to be retained. Gelflex-EB also has the lowest odor, taint, and extractable levels so packaging will not be negatively affected. It is also safer for the workers who are handling it, compared to traditional solvent-based ink.
Gelflex EB Eco Friendly
ECO-FRIENDLY
Among the many features of Gelflex-EB ink is its sustainability. Compared to traditional inks, Gelflex-EB produces an 85% reduction in solvent emissions, reduces ink consumption by 50%, and cuts energy costs by 70%. Additionally, the surface-printed films produced using Gelflex-EB are 100% recyclable.
