Oris Flex Pack // Web is a new contract proofing bundle for flexible packaging, combining CGS’ Oris proofing software with modified Roland VersaCamm VS-series wide format inkjet printers and special proofing media. This will be sold in the UK via Revolution.

Heiner Müller, key account director  at CGS, said: ‘There is a clear need to standardise colour management in the packaging proofing sector to maintain competitiveness and ensure consistency between proofs and output product. At CGS, we have worked hard over the past couple of years to bring to market a flexible, high quality and cost effective packaging proofing solution that could accurately represent Pantone colours and believe we have now achieved this with the ORIS Flex Pack // Web.

‘It is a true turnkey solution and will provide design agencies, repro houses and in-house packaging departments with huge savings in consumable costs and production time without any compromise on the quality or the consistency of the packaging proof.’

In line with this, CGS has also unveiled a new set of special CMYK, plus Orange and Green XG inks. The Roland VS printers can also print metallic and white inks.

Mr Müller adds: ‘With the new inks and media range, we have I believe for the first time in the industry, a genuinely complete bundled solution for halftone or contone packaging proofing and mock up production and there is nothing like this solution in the marketplace today. The new XG inks have a dramatically extended gamut, are clearer and brighter and offer a larger printable colour space, so that almost all Pantone colours can be reproduced to contract proofing standards. This allows the ORIS Flex Pack // Websolution to deliver contract quality proofs and prototypes for any kind of flexible packaging.’
