ENULEC Electrostatic Printing Assist systems are used by many of the world’s leading gravure printers and machine manufacturers of flexible packaging, tobacco packaging, décor and color print for publication to improve and maintain the highest standards of print quality by creating the conditions for optimum ink transfer and eliminating “missing dots,dot skips”.They are suitable for use with water based and NonMetallic solvent based inks when printing on paper, board and plastic film substrates.

The ENULEC Inline Static Measurement System offers new possibilities for process optimization and an increase in safety during production. Substrates of all types are analysed for electrostatic charge in an inline process and the results so measured are recorded. When a pre-selectable warning threshold has been reached, the system provides a signal to the operator and provides information concerning the critical state of any static electrical charge which is present.

This highly effective DC static elimination system has been available to the market for the last 15 years and removes troublesome static charge in winding, slitting, laminating and blown film processes. Free ions (both positively and negatively charged) are deposited at high speed onto the surface of the substrate during the winding process and the positively charged ions on the surface of the substrate recombine with the predominantly negatively charged ions coming from the discharge bar.
