Manager responsible for sales of rotogravure and flexographic printing
machinery for the flexible packaging and folding carton markets.
Tim, now Sales Director for Innovo Packaging Technology,
comments: "I am delighted to work with QuadTech and include its products
in our portfolio. We are always looking for partners and technologies that can
provide added value services to customers, or more specifically, solve the many
important production workflow issues that UK printers and converters face in
remaining competitive and profitable.
"QuadTech technology will not only ensure that UK
customers are able to minimize waste, but also enable them to meet brands' high
expectations for print and color quality consistency, while also opening the
door to other profitable, shorter run opportunities."

Technology today will be responsible for QuadTech's full portfolio of products
including:
- The QuadTech Color Quality Solution (CQS), which offers an integrated solution for color and ink control, utilizing the expertise of QuadTech, X-Rite and leading ink manufacturers. The system combines inline spectral color measurement, ink formulation data and ink dispensing technology to ensure accurate color matching throughout the print run.
- QuadTech Color Measurement System, used within the CQS, collects and maintains live spectral data inline at full press speeds, calculating L*a*b*, ΔE, Density and ΔDensity. QuadTech's patented web stabilizer maintains stability on the widest range of packaging substrates, including paper, foil and film.
- Another powerful solution for converters is the QuadTech Inspection System, which utilizes the most sophisticated defect analysis in the industry to provide 100% inspection on 100% of your print or non-print product, web or sheet, 100% of the time.
Karl Fritchen, President of QuadTech comments, "Tim's
experience is ideal to represent QuadTech in the UK packaging industry, further
expanding our specialist local agent sales network. He has substantial
knowledge of the flexible packaging and folding carton markets, and his ability
to match business issues, challenges and opportunities with the most suitable
technology will be an asset to our business."
