expansion of the range of flexographic<br />
products and services<br />
In decorative as in packaging printing, the flexographic process is growing in importance.<br />
Innovative technologies such as Flexo HD and Flexo HD Advanced enable the production<br />
of extremely consistent, high-resolution printing forms that achieve high-quality print<br />
results on a range of different substrates. Overall, there are now five <strong>Janoschka</strong> sites that<br />
include the production of flexographic printing forms as a specialisation, with Flexo<br />
HD Advanced technology, developed in Barcelona, offered at two sites. This technology<br />
achieves results that were only possible with gravure printing before.<br />
Flexo HD Advanced takes expertise:<br />
<strong>Janoschka</strong>’s knowledge, along with the selection<br />
and combination of individual components<br />
from high-quality technologies<br />
and materials, raise flexography to a whole<br />
new level. High-resolution optics of 4,000<br />
ppi with the latest screen technology guarantee<br />
exceptional print quality and stability.<br />
With Flexo HD Advanced, excellent<br />
print quality can be obtained with glossy<br />
highlights, consistent halftones, even full<br />
tones and higher full tone densities across<br />
the entire tonal value spectrum.<br />
Flexo HD Advanced is the latest technological<br />
standard in operation in Spain and<br />
at <strong>Janoschka</strong> in Germany. In addition to<br />
conventional technology, the subsidiaries<br />
in Argentina and Portugal are equipped to<br />
produce flexographic plates with the highquality<br />
Flexcel NX-System (Argentina) and<br />
FAST technology (Portugal).<br />
The subsidiary, Sächsische Walzengravur<br />
(SWG), produces flexographic printing<br />
forms for making wrapping paper, napkins<br />
or lined paper which are sold worldwide.<br />
Here, for decor, elastomer printing forms<br />
are used, which are imaged using the direct<br />
laser method. The sleeves boast high<br />
life spans and better ink transfer. By investing<br />
in the latest laser technology from<br />
Kodak, the high-quality packaging market<br />
will be exploited with elastomer printing<br />
forms in future, too.
