Siegwerk Launches New Generation Of NC Inks Siegwerk is now offering a new generation of NC inks for flexible packaging applications produced at its headquarters in Siegburg, Germany. For the new generation of NC inks, the formu- lations have been optimized to match both latest production technologies and current market trends, according to the company. The new NC ink series includes colors and clears and is designed for gravure and flexo printing of all kinds of flexible packaging. The new system reportedly also supports cus- tomers in implementing new production processes such as Extended Color Gamut printing (7-color set printing). With the new NC ink generation Siegwerk now launched the first flexible packaging ink system manufactured at the fully automated production fa- cility in Siegburg. Going forward, the company will gradually con- vert the production of all its flexible packaging solutions to an automated process. Kirk Group Invests In Kodak Flexcel NX Software Kirk Group, a provider of graphic arts services and image carriers in Australia and New Zealand, has acquired Kodak Flexcel NX Central Software, a new automated plate layout technology from Miraclon. Kirk Group was founded in 1972, initially to pro- vide artwork services and gravure cylinder engrav- ing. The company moved into flexo in the 1980s and 1990s and today has four manufacturing sites in Australia and New Zealand in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland, and, since 2020, a pres- ence in Mumbai, India. Flexcel NX Central Software is Kirk’s third recent investment in Miraclon technology, following the November installation of a Kodak Flexcel NX Ultra Solution and investing in the Flexcel NX Print Suite for flexible packaging to access PureFlexo Printing Technology before that. All investments align with the company’s systems and technology-driven innovation policy, which add enhanced capabilities to Kirk’s offering, according to the company, such as more efficient plate utilization, sustainable plate processing, and press efficiency. Flexcel NX Central Software automates all plate production, including the automatic application of multiple advanced plate surface patterning features.
