Photopolymer printing plate for flexible packaging

In combination with a standard tube exposure, the nyloflex FTV Digital print the finest highlight dots, which increases the tonal range and, in conjunction with surface screens, a good solid colour density reproduced. Thanks to the Anti-Ink Filling (AIF) technology, which enables longer and cleaner printing with solvent-based inks, greater efficiency (OEE) is guaranteed by Reduced downtime on the printing press can be realised. Another advantage is the reduced plate waste, as the new formulation is less prone to swelling. Due to the 1:1 image transfer to the printing plate, a high level of consistency and reproducibility is achieved, so that the plate is also suitable for surface screens. The new Pressure plate supports the surface grids of ThermoFlexX Woodpecker, including Woodpecker Sharp and Nano, and is also suitable for printing in the extended colour space (extended gamut).

„The nyloflex FTV Digital printing plate combines the best of both worlds. It is equally powerful with both conventional tube platesetters and newer LED systems. As this reduces the complexity of plate processing, it is the perfect addition to our plate portfolio for the flexible premium packaging market. In addition to the already established nyloflexNEF Digital, the first LED-optimised flexo plate for the high-end flexible packaging segment, we now offer a second printing plate that has been specially optimised for LED exposure, but also achieves excellent printing results with tube exposure. This means that customers who are planning to switch to LED imaging, such as our Catena-E technology, at a later date can already position themselves for the future with market-leading quality. As always, XSYS pursues the goal of enabling our customers to achieve brilliant results. At the same time, we want to help them reduce the complexity of plate making and improve productivity and quality with industry-leading solutions. The very positive feedback we have already received from our customers shows that we are achieving precisely this goal with the nyloflex FTV Digital.“
