On the afternoon of 5 October 2022 India time, the FlexoKITE center was launched virtually with a number of flexo and gravure printers and converters taking function together with a console of technical experts drawn from the core supplier partners of the projection. The FlexoKITE center is a fully equipped demo heart from prepress to platemaking and a label press within the Apex International factory built for manufacturing anilox rollers in Maharashtra. The center which is virtually a ii-60 minutes drive from Mumbai is a center for flexography across vendor lines. A potential testing and R&D centre for other suppliers, converters, and brands.

I will not describe the webinar in total because information technology is bachelor for view, from the Apex International website and, it was an intense and blithesome experience to hear tech talk at a high level of complication. It made i feel that Noon values our market place and our human assets and resources – to speak with us equally technically capable and indeed hungry to acquire and do flexography and take it to global standards. A good amount of tech content and virtual surveys of participants accompanied the tour of the wonderful new facility as well equally the manufactory.

Suffice to say that some of the core suppliers include Esko whose entire software is bachelor to the center. Esko's fully automated state of the Crystal CDI is also installed there. As is the DuPont flexo plate processing applied science and also the jewel of the facility, the Bobst flexo characterization printing. Other core partners include Avery Dennison, Flintstone Inks, and Tessa, Max Specialty Films, Swedcut, and Numex Blocks.

The ethos of the center was described as continuous improvement which is only possible when yous are talking with knowledgeable and experienced hands-on practitioners and problem-solvers – tech detectives and so to speak. The center has access to a library of technical webinars on the Apex website. And this library includes a wide range of white papers and FAQs.

Recent webinars have included ways of improving white ink quality, evaluation, and improvements. Another looks at various anilox engraving and the usage of white ink over a long run which I believe we have reported. Still another on ink foaming with water-based inks, a forward-looking problem that can put our community at the leading sustainable edge of the industry. Other webinars discuss DFTA impress standardization and anilox volumes for item ink transfers.

In that location was a question and respond session addressed by the virtual panel of engineering science. These were Nick Harvey of Noon International, Dan Pulling of FlexoKite, Ghanshyam Pande from Tessa, Shailesh Sharma from Flint Group, Darragh Whelan Bobst, Shaju John of DuPont, and Ganapathy Thillai of Esko. Autonomously from the global experts, the local panelists reassured me that these people know what they are talking well-nigh and are set to find answers. All that is needed are problems and challenges and it makes an older guy wish he was dorsum in the game to take such a great resource and community – just a Zoom call abroad, and after on to visit.

Every bit Nick Harvey said, "The purpose of the center is to help u.s.a. build and develop flexo for tomorrow with the collaboration of the customs of converters, core suppliers, and brand owners."
