Sweden: Flint Group Narrow Web EMEA has introduced the Vivo colour solution for the narrow-web label and packaging printers. The web-based system, Flint, said, is a first-of-its-kind ink colour formulation search engine and support service, designed to increase the converter’s colour accuracy, press uptime and reduce substrate and ink waste.
“Today customers across seven countries in Europe are using Vivo colour solutions to generate ink colour formulations, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Kelly Kolliopoulos, global marketing director, Flint Group Narrow Web. “Customers tell us they get accurate ink formulations for new colours right away, their press utilisation has increased, and their operators find the system easy to use. These qualitative reviews are
backed up with quantitative results. On average, converters who use Vivo colour solutions for spot colour formulation save two hours of press down- time and 100-300 linear meters of substrate waste per colour match.”
For a limited time, Flint Group Narrow Web offers all customers a free of charge two months trial period of the Vivo colour solutions, where the promise is to reduce the press downtime, rejects and re-runs, material waste, excess waste ink and thereby helping the converter to cut costs.
