SOLVING INK ISSUES -- Inking a Deal

"We brought SICPA in to help us solve a problem. The inks weren't laying down properly. They were pin-holing and keeping us from producing a quality product and running at the necessary speed to compete in this market," recalls Steven Stewart, Brook & Whittle president.

SICPA was able to solve compatibility issues with its line of UV rotary screen 78-3 series and UV flexo 39-5 series inks. "We use screen in combination with UV flexo inks," adds Stewart. "Compatibility is the big issue there—putting screen under UV flexo or vice versa."
