Uteco Launches Digital Press
Esko Prepares For EskoWorld 2018
Uteco Group, in partnership with Kodak, has an- nounced the commercial availability of the Sapphire EVO digital press. The press is said to address a full range of low and high-volume applications that pro- duce up to 20 million square meters per year. The Sapphire EVO press can reportedly print more than 9,000 linear meters per hour, while utilising Kodak Stream Inkjet Technology. The Sapphire EVO press uses media up to 650 mm in width and prints at up to 622mm and offers CMYK printing as well as options for in-line priming and varnishing. Using environmentally friendly water-based inks to print on a variety of flexible substrates, including BOPP, PET and paper, Kodak’s inks and pre-coating flu- ids used with the Sapphire EVO press complies with regulatory requirements for indirect food contact in the EU and the US, as well as brand specific require- ments and the EuPIA exclusion list. Sold worldwide, the Uteco Group will begin installation of the first unit in June 2018 at an Italian flexible packaging producer for the industrial and fashion industries.
EskoWorld, the 27th annual conference for Esko users, will be held on June 5-7 at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa, San Antonio, Texas. Its mission is to create a platform that connects the en- tire packaging supply chain. Leading brands, graphic and structural designers, flexo trade shops, sign mak- ers and packaging and label converters will share ideas, gain product knowledge business expertise and exchange best practices. The three-day event includes nearly 100 education- al sessions developed to help attendees enhance their knowledge of Esko solutions and expand their education on the industry’s latest trends. Inter- spersed will be sessions explaining specific product roadmaps, product training, and lectures on relevant topics. EskoWorld will focus on a number of tracks, allowing attendees, with varied backgrounds and in- terests, to attend sessions that apply most to them. New this year, Esko and its partners will conduct a three-hour opening session where they will share their vision for the industry’s future.
