Digital Imager Answers Colour Flexo Plate Demands
Reproflex has installed an Esko Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) Spark 4835 with Multi-beam Optics 40.
It also includes semi-automatic plate loading and updated Grapholas flexo software.
Optics 80, an enhanced version of the CDI's optical technology, is capable of imaging eight square meters of plate per hour, keeping up to speed with plate processing equipment.
The new CDI Advance semi-automatic is delivered with a semi automatic-plate-loader, a trolley that contains 16 cassettes, each available to hold similar or different-sized plates up to 50" x 80".
Grapholas flexo software has also been enhanced to increase productivity.
The new Platepatcher option automatically divides large format layouts into a number of small-size plate patches, adding crossmarks and reference codes for later re-assembly.
Grapholas is also available as a stand-alone package called Plateprep, supporting job preparation and viewing independently from a CDI.
Groovy Screens, a new hybrid screening technology using traditional AM screening throughout most of an image, adds a line pattern (or grooves) into the shadow areas to improve color saturation and solid rendering.
New, productive features for the Kongsberg Digital Converting Machine are based on the Kongsberg XL series of cutting and creasing tables for packaging applications.
One new aspect is optical registration of print-to-cut.
This new registration system is suited for corrugated board, permitting the material to be cut and creased with the print side facing down.
Also featured is a remote alert system.
To ensure that the DCM system can be monitored and run unattended, it can be equipped with a simple attachment that notifies the operator by displaying a message on a mobile phone.
Since DRUPA 2000, more than 650 tables have been installed at packaging facilities.
