ARC International, REPROFLEX3 Announce U.S. Partnership Charlotte, North Carolina based ARC International and UK based REPROFLEX3, a flexographic pre-press specialist, have announced a new technical partnership in the United States to deliver REPROFLEX3’s Vortex print technology to the Americas. The exclusive partnership is aimed at the growing demand for high-quality corrugated packaging graphics across all flute lines and print across the territory. REPROFLEX3’s Vortex technology has been consid- ered a “game changer” for corrugated corrugated print- ers, whether it is brown box or multi color high graphics. It allows post print graphics to be produced at higher screen levels with superior solid coverage. Designs that would normally be printed using a pre-print or digital process, can now to be more cost effective and printed directly on a corrugated flexo folder gluer. Vortex technology will also allow brown box printers to achieve better ink coverage on their boxes due to how the ink is transferred from the plate surface. Vortex can deliver improved press set-up time, high impact graphics and solid color densities. ARC International, a leading anilox roller manufacturer for the corrugated industry in North America, has recent- ly invested in new laser technologies that will integrate a new Fibertronic engraving process, allowing ARC anilox rollers to complement the Vortex process by producing the highest tolerances, roller-to-roller. The ARC team will be enabling integration of Vortex technology as well as performing audit analyses to tune in anilox specs. The new alliance will be supported by Canada based DTM Flexo Services and its extensive industry knowledge to bring added value to the process. Pacificolor, a supplier of prepress services in both the U.S. flexo and offset print industries, is also supporting the partnership. REPROFLEX3, ARC International, DTM and Pacificolor will officially launch Vortex at SuperCorrExpo, taking place August 8-12, 2021, in Orlando, Florida. Micheal Foran, President, CEO and Founder of ARC International, said, “When we were first introduced to RE- PROFLEX3, we immediately recognized the benefits that the Vortex technology could offer to the North American corrugated market. We’re excited to bring this European FTA award-winning technology to the table for both the integrated and independent box makers throughout North America. “With our broad customer base and existing corporate roller programs in place, we feel that ARC International’s technical service team, along with DTM Flexo Services in Canada, can show the corrugated industry how the Vor- tex process can enhance their overall print quality, just as we’ve been able to do over the years with our Opticell and HV High Volume anilox rollers. The new HVV High Volume Vortex roller will be the perfect partner to the Vortex plate technology.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
