Fujifilm
Sericol debuts latest products for Indian market
Fujifilm Sericol India (stall H16) will be
showing a number of its products for the first time in the Indian market
including the Uvivid UV narrow web product range for the label industry.
UVivid Flexo Supernova White is an
ultra-opaque flexo printable ink that can replace rotary screen white ink and
allows fine text and opaque solids to be combined on the same plate. Also being
highlighted are its High Opacity UVivid Flexo Colours. The special high opaque
UVivid flexo colour matched shades produce opaque prints on clear film label
materials without the need for a backing white, which can be hard to register,
and allow opaque solids and text to be printed in a single pass. Its shrink
Sleeve White is an opaque white ink that has been specially designed for
reverse printing onto shrink sleeve labels. It combines the necessary slip
properties with high opacity and can withstand high shrinkage without cracking.
In addition to these products, the UVivid range includes innovative flexo
colour inks (available as Pantone, process or metallic colours), rotary screen
and flat screen products developed specifically for the label industry.

stations used on press by changing/replacing existing colors. The overall
benefits include increased image color vibrancy, lower ink usage and better
registration (due to reduced print stations). Specifically aimed at packaging
printers, MaxColor tool reduces the number of color separations by replacing
one or more colors in a normal CMYK separation with one spot color. The tool is aimed at those who often use
Pantone colors to match specific brand colors, and can therefore also use them
to enhance the overall image.
