Parmco Upgrades Packaging Printing Capabilities

To support continued growth in high end flexible packaging and narrow web markets, Pamarco Global Graphics, Atlanta, GA., USA, announced this week that it will be installing a new ALE multi-beam 500 W solid state laser at its Warrington, U.K., anilox manufacturing plant during the first quarter of 2010. The company will also be adding a complete clean room facility for the new and existing lasers. This is part of a five-year plan to add and upgrade all lasers to solid state technology. In addition to new laser technology, the company has also introduced new engraving technology, E-Flo, which is a unique cell structure combined with an improved cell angle profile that will provide a more consistent and increased ink lay-down. This unique cell angle profile now allows printers to work with the expanded color gametes, in particular high definition or Opaltone technology, without concern of the angles clashing with the printing plate.
