Michelman has been exhibiting its inline and off-line primers, overprint varnishes, and strengtheners explicitly formulated for use in HP Indigo digital presses to produce a variety of labels, commercial printing, and flexible packaging applications.

Michelman’s solutions are water-based and enhance the sustainability of printed materials by allowing printing on a wide variety of substrates, including those created from recycled or renewably-sourced materials. This versatility helps press owners minimize substrate waste, expand into new markets, and ultimately grow their businesses.

Michelman is also featuring its barrier and functional coatings for flexible packaging systems. These coatings help customers develop sustainable packaging that provides enhanced oxygen, moisture, and grease resistant barrier solutions on paper- and film-based substrates.

Visitors to Michelman’s stand have enjoyed an opportunity to discuss Michelman’s complete line of solutions for HP Indigo digital presses and learn about some exciting new innovations. 

In addition, Molly Hladik, global R&D manager at Michelman, led a class on inks, coatings, curing, and laminating as an instructor at Labelexpo Europe’s Flexible Packaging Masterclass.The class included considerations on inks and downstream performance, such as food contact, migration, and process conditions.
