Miraclon has released an updated version of its centralised software hub for Flexcel plate production: Flexcel NX Central 3.0. The update is set to streamline operations, maximise plate performance and introduce powerful new capabilities for its customers, the company claims.
At the centre of the new software, is an “intelligent new feature”: the Automated Calibration Tool replaces manual calibration with a smart, self-service solution, continuously validating and adjusting system settings. This, explained Miraclon, ensures optimal platemaking conditions, significantly reducing variability and delivering consistent, high-precision plates that perform flawlessly on press.
“Flexcel NX Central 3.0 is another demonstration of Miraclon’s commitment to deliver precision, consistency and repeatability in the platemaking process – key pillars of modern flexo printing,” said Deana Conyard, director of product marketing and portfolio management, Miraclon. “It empowers customers with greater simplicity and agility in their platemaking workflows, helping them achieve the highest levels of plate performance and print production.”
Along with the new calibration features, the company said Flexcel NX Central 3.0 offers streamlined access to a range of enhancements for the Flexcel NX System. These include advanced triple-form surface patterning from Miraclon, PureFlexo Printing designed to minimise ink spread and reduce press interruptions by up to 50%, and Automated Plate Layout, which can cut manual layout time by up to 90% while improving plate utilisation by as much as 10%.
New Flexcel NX System installations will include Flexcel NX Central 3.0, and upgrades for existing customers are now available.
