DuPont introduces new Cryel Easy flexo plate

According to the company, the new technology platform has been designed to simplify the pre-press process by building the flattop digital dot directly into the plate, resulting in increased productivity and consistency. This is part of an on-going effort by DuPont to drive progress in the flexographic printing industry by improving quality, sustainability and productivity.

 

“DuPont is excited to bring forward yet another key innovation to advance flexography. By building flattop dot capability directly into Cyrel Easy plates, we are making it fast and simple to enhance productivity while delivering world-class print quality,” John Chrosniak, global business director, DuPont Packaging Graphics, said.

 

DuPont Cyrel fast thermal and solvent plate making system has increased efficiency and consistency by removing the flattop dot-processing step and its associated cost. The result is a technology platform that offers customers the choice of both smooth and engineered surface plates that deliver high ink transfer and colour saturation, regardless of existing workflow, and eliminating the need of investment in nitrogen exposure unit, LED technology or lamination equipment to get flattop dots.

 

Cyrel Easy technology is currently in market testing at select DuPont customers around the world, and commercial sales of the first generation of printing plates from the Cyrel Easy platform are scheduled for the third quarter of 2015.
