Kodak has launched a new addition to its Flexcel technology, Flexcel NX System 16 which includes Advanced DIGICAP NX Patterning with Advanced Edge Definition technology to improve ink transfer.

 The new technology helps control ink flow at the edge of objects, which results in cleaner print, increased contrast and greater visual edge definition. Implementation is streamlined with NX tags for the application of multiple patterns on a single plate layout.

These new features enables the system to serve the wide ranging demands of flexo print applications, including wide web flexibles, narrow web labels and paperboard printing, with a single plate type. This gives pre-press operations that switch from competitive technologies the added opportunity to reduce inventory, errors and complexity. The technology also introduces corrugated post-print customers to the benefits of the Kodak Flexcel NX technology.
