Cómo sobresale Roberts Mart en la impresión de embalajes flexibles de alta calidad

We took the chance to ask Kevin Grant (Plate Mounting Line Manager) and Tony Rymer (Print Technical Manager) about their experience with our tesa® Softprint FE-X EA.

• What made you decide to choose tesa® Softprint FE-X EA?
  We at Roberts-Mart are constantly looking to keep one step ahead so that our print quality remains at the highest levels. By being able to achieve this we are always on the search for the materials to help us reach our goals. Mounting tape is at the forefront of that and having worked closely with tesa we have been able to move on from tesa® FLEX and come up with a product that can take us forward with the tesa® Softprint FE-X EA.
   
• After you have now had tesa® Softprint FE-X EA in use for a while, what is your experience regarding daily handling (e.g. mounting, printing, demounting, overall efficiency)?
  The structure of the tape helps our operators lay the tape down with real ease. You find the tape wanting to go round the sleeve which makes the handling and maneuvering far more easier. The adhesive from tape to sleeve and tape to plate is at the right consistency which gives the operators confidence knowing that no problems will occur once your tape and plate is laid round the print sleeve. At the de-mounting stage no problems occur but to help with this you need to make sure you are using the correct solvents to be able to achieve this. The print quality is clearly evident and this is showing with the recent awards that have been won by us at Roberts-Mart.
   
• Can you please share the Roberts Mart view on flexible packaging printing and print quality?
  We print on a wide variety of substrate types, surface & reverse print for many different customers. These customers expect the highest quality & consistency across repeat runs as standard.
  The advances in print press, screening, plates, anilox, ink tape & sleeve technology has allowed to us push the boundaries and to develop the complexity of what we print to achieve the highest quality, year on year. 
   
• What issues have you been facing in the past regarding print quality?
  Many problems have been encountered and overcome by working with our suppliers & partners. We look forward to pushing the boundaries even further.
