EB Curable Flexographic Inks, 2005 EuroPLACE Conference
ABSTRACT ONLY
EB curable flexographic inks have been recently introduced to the flexible packaging market. The new EB
ink system offers benefits of UV curable inks such as good print quality, high gloss and product resistance,
while eliminating needs in interstation curing. The system has an efficient cure response that allows for
complete cure with low voltage electron beam systems. EB curable flexo inks will offer reduced ink
consumption during the printing process. Introduction of this novel technology allows increasing
productivity of the converting process by producing surface printed, in-line coated or in-line laminated
packaging materials.
