FlexiProof 100 & FlexiProof 100/UV
The FlexiProof 100, 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.
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.
BENEFITS
The FlexiProof 100 is ideal for both ink manufacturers and printers and can be used for the following, with all of the attendant benefits:

BENEFITS
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.
- Minimises expensive on-press waste production, boosts customer confidence and minimises customer returns.

About us
Company portrait
RK Print was founded in the early 1960’s; a family run business with over 60 years’ experience in the surface coating industry. Designed and manufactured in the UK, RK equipment has one common theme, the production of repeatable samples; to be used for the purposes of research and development, quality control.
Products range from the simple and inexpensive K Hand Coater to the innovative FlexiProof 100/UV (LED UV also available) for realistic printability testing on all types of flexo substrates.
Well known for the K Printing Proofer, increasing demand saw the development of a reel to reel machine enabling more realistic printability in R&D trials for gravure & flexo inks and substrates. Design of RK’s Rotary Koater (ROKO) began during the mid to late 1970’s and the first machine was delivered soon after. The Rotary Koater has since been replaced with the more advanced and sophisticated VCM-L Lab Pilot Coater.
Building on their developed knowledge and experience of web handling, together with ongoing advances in application techniques, RK invested in the design of a more sophisticated machine. The Versatile Converting Machine (VCM) is bespoke in design and is optimised to the specific requirements of each process. Since 2004, VCM equipment has been installed at many locations worldwide, involved in the development of high-tech coatings such as printed/plastic electronics, e.g. VTT, Finland.
