KODAK DIGICAP NX Screening
Eastman Kodak Company

KODAK DIGICAP NX Screening addresses the longstanding issue of ink transfer efficiency in flexographic printing, particularly in the solid areas. The screening software applies a micro surface texturization pattern to the surface of all elements on the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic Plate. This process translates into more efficient ink transfer that provides higher print densities, smooth solids, and an expanded color gamut with process printing. The result is gravure-quality printing on a flexographic press—all without the barrier of entry, leading one judge to comment, “It is a development that now allows flexography to truly compete on a quality level with rotogravure for flexible packaging.”
