The teams make a toast to the partnership
Leading Chinese flexo platemaker Amjet Shanghai has again partnered with Esko to install the first CDI Crystal 5080 XPS system in Greater China.
The investment includes Automation Engine pre-press workflow as well as the latest screening technology for flexo printing. It will enable Amjet Shanghai to focus on the highest definition flexo production technology for flexible packaging and labels.
With the new solution the company aims to combine greater pre-press workflow and the highest quality screening technology to improve efficiency and to enhance the quality of its packaging and printing.
The CDI Crystal XPS is a digitally-controlled exposure unit supporting all photopolymer flexo plates. The platemaking device integrates with the entire pre-press workflow to optimally control the output of plates.
One of the primary factors influencing plate stability is UV exposure. It has also been proven that the shorter the dwell between main exposure and back exposure, the finer the detail.
The Automation Engine enables a fully-automated platemaking workflow, and with Device Manager, anyone that needs to know the status of a job can check from the comfort of their desks. Tasks can quickly and easily be placed in queues, which can be modified as required. This automation not only saves valuable operator time, but also time in the platemaking process to help meet customer demand.
Geert de Proost, director solutions marketing for Esko, said, ‘With our new flexo platemaking solutions, we ensure that flexo printing maintains its prominent position and is ready for the business challenges of label and flexo converters today.’
