WhiteFX™ Ink Transfer Solution

Solvent-based flexo web printers who use WhiteFX™ can achieve a smoother, more uniform white ink laydown on clear film and a dramatic reduction in pinholing. Whites look whiter and overprinted colors look brighter – in a single pass and at full production speeds.

X-Corr™ Digital Plate System

The stronger, sharper flat top dot structure of an X-Corr™ digital plate provides corrugated printers with decreased dot gain and reduced fluting. On a single plate, vignettes will hold a 1-2% highlight, midtones stay open, and solid area densities remain strong.
