Flint Group Narrow Web EMEA Launches VIVO Colour Solutions

Following extensive dialogue with Narrow Web label and packaging printers concerning their needs for exact colour formulations and simplicity in colour matching, Flint Group Narrow Web launches VIVO Colour Solutions.  This web-based system is a first-of-its-kind ink colour formulation search engine and support service, designed to increase the converter’s colour accuracy, press uptime and reduce substrate and ink waste.

Why is VIVO Colour Solutions an innovation?

This offering is a family of products and services that ensures colour recipes are tailored to each customer’s unique selection of ink chemistry, variety of substrates, and selection of aniloxes.  VIVO Colour Solutions is a step above existing colour management options which are based upon one substrate and theoretically calculated formulations.  VIVO Colour Solutions is the only one operational on the market today that provides this flexibility and accuracy designed-in so that the converter’s operation can focus on what they do best, printing beautiful graphics for the brand owner. 

“Today customers across 7 countries in Europe are using VIVO Colour Solutions to generate ink colour formulations, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Kelly Kolliopoulos, Global Marketing Director, Flint Group Narrow Web.  “Customers tell us they get accurate ink formulations for new colours right away, their press utilisation has increased, and their operators find the system easy to use.  These qualitative reviews are backed up with quantitative results.  On average, converters who use VIVO Colour Solutions for spot colour formulation save 2 hours of press down-time and 100-300 linear meters of substrate waste per colour match.”
