Flint adds Extra Firm Rotec option

Flint Group has expanded its range of Rotec Compressible sleeves with a new Extra Firm version that offers a hardness level of 70 Shore A to complement the existing Medium (50 Shore A) and Firm (60 Shore A) hardness levels.

Flint has produced an Extra Firm version of its Rotec Compressible sleeve.

This follows customer feedback for an extra option to balance the level of hardness and compressibility that’s necessary for optimum print quality. The Rotec Compressible sleeves have a round, closed-cell polyurethane structure that is compressible, with this option using new materials to increase the hardness level.

Gina Wienbracke, product manager for Rotec sleeves and adapters, explained: “Flint Group really listens to the printers and optimizes communication pathways so that new product development is focused on these actual customer needs. That allows the printer to meet the increasing demands of the flexographic market.”

I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
