"We are excited to deliver on our customers’ requests for a Kodak Flexcel NX system that focuses on corrugated packaging,” said Doug Edwards, president, digital printing and enterprise.
"We know that there are always strong cost pressures in this segment and have worked hard todeliver a solution that focuses on both quality and total delivered cost. Whether customers are focused on achieving high quality results in pre-print and post-print or impactful, cost-effective post-print results on lower grade liners, we are confident that Kodak now has an innovative solution to meet those needs," he added.
The Kodak Flexcel NX Wide 5080 platesetter can image plates up to 1,270x2,032mm (50x80in) expanding the largest size that the system can handle from the previous maximum of 1,067x1,524mm (42x60in). Like other Kodak Flexcel systems it uses the firm’s SquareSpot imaging and can apply the DigiCap surface patterning to improve ink transfer."We know that there are always strong cost pressures in this segment and have worked hard todeliver a solution that focuses on both quality and total delivered cost. Whether customers are focused on achieving high quality results in pre-print and post-print or impactful, cost-effective post-print results on lower grade liners, we are confident that Kodak now has an innovative solution to meet those needs," he added.
The Kodak NX plate has been formulated to deliver superior ink coverage, reduced fluting, improved highlight reproduction and cost-effect on-press performance.
