Sets the standard in high quality flexo printing

Sharp reproduction of the finest halftones, smooth, homogenous vignettes and high contrast images combined with excellent ink transfer make the nyloflex ACE NEW the plate of choice. Especially in combination with new technologies, such as HD Flexo or nyloflex NExT, the plate offers high-class print results. nyloflex NExT, Flint Group’s high intensity exposure technology, is the smart solution for a precise defined surface of Flat Top Dots in flexo printing.

Efficiency and productivity

nyloflex ACE NEW is quick, consistent and reliable in processing. The even floor and clear contrast result in easy handling and good mounting properties. The plate provides major advantages to printers due to its low dust attraction and advanced cleaning behavior. According to customer reports nyloflex ACE NEW Digital runs up to 500,000 meters without cleaning stops, resulting in a reduction of printing costs. Moreover, stable quality and consistency during the entire run length, superior durability and a long lifetime make it very economical.

Extensive field tests with nyloflex ACE NEW brought outstanding print results and extremely positive feedback. The global market introduction of the new printing plates will progressively follow.
