The CDTI – Center for Industrial Technological Development is one of the institutions that supports Kento Digital Printing in its purpose of developing new hybrid printing technologies for the packaging industry, through the Kento Hybrid® project.
Hybrid printing and competitiveness
The high costs of digital inks have been an obstacle to the adoption of digital printing technologies in the corrugated packaging industry. On the other hand, analog printing is not efficient for the short and medium runs demanded by today’s markets.
That is where Kento Hybrid® comes in, concentrating in a printing line the advantages of inkjet (digital) and flexographic (analog) technologies, capable of printing by flexography the areas of large masses and color backgrounds with a very low cost when using flexographic ink (10 times cheaper than digital), and by inkjet the multicolored areas or with some design, without using the plates or clichés that make low-volume printing expensive.
