The "FLEXO DAY", which took place on November 16th 2011 in Castellanza, Lombardy, is a regular feature of the Italian flexoprinting sector. In addition to product presentations by flexoprinting industry manufacturers, relevant flexoprinting topics were addressed in numerous technical presentations. These included innovations in the area of flexoprinting and ways of making printing processes more efficient. The "FLEXO DAY" offered the 300 or so delegates not just presentations, but also the opportunity to establish new contacts with manufacturers and colleagues from the flexoprinting sector.

The graphics market segment of the Lohmann Adhesive Tape Group and its colleagues from Lohmann Italy took part in the "FLEXO DAY" for the second time. The "Bonding Engineers" took on the role of speakers and one of the sponsors of the event and displayed their latest flexoprinting products. As a compressible substructure for high-end post print, the DuploFLEX CB (Corrugated Board) product range guarantees the best possible print results. It also has great strengths when it comes to the direct printing of corrugated board, like: improved print quality and improved cost-effectiveness. Compared with the conventional mounting of printing plates, in which thick and unwieldy printing plates are attached to the printing cylinder, thin printing plates are now used more and more in conjunction with DuploFlex CB. This not only makes the printing plates easier to produce and simplifies the handling for the printer, it also improves print quality. Another advantage of this product range lies in the high-quality polymerStoff, der aus verketteten Monomereinheiten besteht; Endprodukt der PolymerisationChemische Reaktion, bei der Monomere unter Einfluss von Druck/Wärme, Katalysatoren oder anderen Mechanismen zu langkettigen Molekülen (Polymere) reagieren.. foam that it employs. For example, no solvents can penetrate it due to its closed cell structure. It also regains its original shape very readily and is extremely stable. Last but not least, the Polymer Materiale, der består af sammenkædede monomerenheder. Slutprodukt for polymerisering.foam prevents uncontrolled point gain to ensure the best possible print result. The "Bonding Engineers" are offering the DuploFLEX CB range in a number of versions tailored to customer requirements: with a PET film carrier or single-sided self-adhesive and in varying foam thicknesses. During the fifth "FLEXO DAY" in Italy, the sector demonstrated a unanimous desire for greater productivity and high-quality print solutions.
