Flint Group Flexographic Products is now equipping all main exposure units with high power UV-A lamps of the latest generation. The UV-A output of the high definition lamps increases by up to 15% compared to standard UV-A 10R lamps. This makes them suitable for the reproduction of high definition halftones and the finest images in flexo form processing.

Due to higher UV-A output and improved stability during operating time, the new lamp generation meets the requirements of the highest quality standards. Longer life, and therefore reduced replacement cycles, makes them cost-efficient and user-friendly. The new lamps have an initial UV-A intensity of over 20 mW/cm2. This allows one to fully benefit from the latest generation of flexo plates such as the nyloflex FTF, a flexo plate with inherently flat top dots and a textured plate surface. Due to improved crosslinking, even the finest vignettes with soft fade-outs can be easily reproduced.
