    Solvent-free flexographic printing - with Dieter Niederstadt from Asahi Photoproducts

    Flexographic Printing, Solvent Zero & Automation in Plate Processing In this episode of the Innoform Podcast, Julian Thielen speaks with Dieter Niederstadt from Asahi Photoproducts about current innovations in flexographic printing, water-wash plates, and automation in flexo plate production. The conversation focuses on the shift toward Solvent Zero: replacing solvent-based plate processing with water-wash technology and closed-loop recycling systems. With up to 90% water reuse and no VOC emissions, flexo plate processing is becoming significantly more sustainable while maintaining industrial performance. Another key topic is full automation in flexographic workflows. Together with partners such as Esko and Allstein, integrated systems now connect imaging (CDI), LED exposure (XPS), washout, drying and cutting in one automated process. The result: standardized quality, reduced operator dependency, and shorter processing times. The episode also discusses: Water-based inks in flexible packaging Flexo vs. rotogravure printing Printing on PCR and MDO substrates The impact of European PPWR regulations This episode is relevant for converters, packaging manufacturers, print professionals and brand owners looking to improve sustainability, productivity and print quality in flexible packaging.
