The RK FlexiProof 100 offers a high speed,
operator-friendly machine for the production
of proofs using water, solvent or UV
Flexographic inks. It is an essential tool for
all those involved in the manufacture and use
of flexo inks. Ideal for quality control testing
to ensure consistency of performance of
inks and substrates over time, presentation
samples, printability of substrates, R&D
including product and commercial viability,
and computer colour matching data.

RESEARCH +
DEVELOPMENT
FlexiProof 100 UV
The FlexiProof 100 eliminates the need to use a
production line printing press for pilot runs, as the
machine is a scaled down but exact version of a full
sized flexo press.
QUALITY
BENEFITS CONTROL
The FlexiProof 100 is ideal for both ink manufacturers
and printers and can be used for the following, with all
of the attendant benefits:
• Printers: Eliminates press down time by
colour matching off press
• Inks: Computer colour matching, database
and sample preparation
• Can be used to determine performance
properties i.e. wear resistance, scratch
resistance, flexibility, durability, gloss, etc.
• Will print on all typical commercial
substrates - paper, board, film, foil, tissue GLOBAL
• Minimises expensive on-press waste SUPPORT

and minimises customer returns
Complies with ISO 2834-2
