During IPEX, Sun Chemical announced its sponsorship of the BPIF's Gap Analysis service, now known as the "Sun Chemical ISO 12647/2 Gap Analysis". Sun Chemical recognises the importance of the ISO 12647/2 scheme in the graphic design market, so as a result of the sponsorship, companies can now sign up for the Gap Analysis in 2010 at a reduced rate.
The BPIF recently issued the BPIF ISO 12647/2 Colour Quality Management Certification Scheme Requirements which aids printers in creating a full colour quality management system with benefits such as cost saving, consistent colour quality and increased profitability. The Gap Analysis, developed by the BPIF’s technical team, assesses a printer’s current processes and capabilities in relation to the scheme and specifies the actions needed to comply with these colour standards.
Commenting on the launch, Charles Murray, Sun Chemical’s Group Managing Director, said: “Sun Chemical’s sponsorship of the ISO 12674/2 Gap Analysis shows our dedication to the industry’s growth and promotion. Printers can now utilise the BPIF’s Gap Analysis service in 2010 at a discounted rate and take the next step towards consistent colour quality.”

Under the theme "Today's solutions for Tomorrow’s demands", the Comexi Group, Sun Chemical and ESI’s Open House was held from 1st to 3rd June in Girona, Spain. The event recorded more than 200 visitors during three days of intense face-to-face activity with customers.
Once again the three companies demonstrated the ability to organize and draw the industry’s attention to this first-class technology event.
During the Open House the latest developments in flexographic printing were showcased. The commercial and industrial robustness of the EB FLEXO solution was showcased through the combination of the eCOMEXI® Comexi EB flexo press, Sun Chemical’s Wetflex® EB inks and the ESI EZCure system. The success of the event was in the demonstration that EB Flexo provides high quality print that competes with gravure, VOC free production without the use of photoinitiators, and all at a very competitive cost.
A new global concept F4FLEXOEfficiency® was also showcased, which involved a revolutionary concept in flexographic printing. The Comexi F4FLEXOEfficiency® is state-of-the-art technology for low cost per square meter, high productivity printing; in addition to its lower maintenance costs, it is the most efficient solution for short runs and quality flexo printing.
