Miraclon expands the boundaries of CI flexo with PureFlexo

Miraclon, home of Kodak Flexcel Solutions, hosted its first Miraclon Innovates virtual event on 24 June to introduce its PureFlexo printing, a new process technique whereby print quality is improved with less fuss and less ink.

According to Miraclon, the new process technique is an extension of its Advanced Plate Surface Patterning Technology, and has been tested over two years in the field on over 20,000 commercial jobs.
