INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Last year, the Flexographic Technical Assn.’s Annual Forum and INFO*FLEX were significant successes. In fact, last year’s Las Vegas rendition of the FTA’s annual event was a spring harbinger of several additional successful industry events that followed that year. But this year’s event at the JW Marriott and Indiana Convention Ctr., Indianapolis, IN, on May 1—4, has been lauded, according to an FTA press release, as nothing less than “Phenomenal!” and “Fantastic!“ Printers were everywhere.” “Impressive.” Traffic was heavy.

 Anderson & Vreeland demonstrated the expanded capabilities of OKI Data Americas proColor Series with a UV coating application at the Flexographic Technical Association's INFO*FLEX 2011 Exhibition, May 2-3 in Indianapolis, IN. The combination of the its ability to produce fast, customized continuous web printing with Kompac Technologies' EZ Koat UV coating applicator further expands the printer's usefulness within the flexographic industry.

MacDermid Printing Solutions announced at the Flexographic Technical Assn.’s INFO*FLEX held at the Indiana Convention Ctr. on May 1-4, that the LUX platemaking process can now be used with LAVA thermal processing systems. The combination of flat-top dots with thermal processing is an industry first and offers a unique opportunity for printers and converters to merge the quality and consistency of LUX with the efficiency and environmental benefits of LAVA.
