Dots Do It Right

The disarmingly simple addition of the laminating step produces 1:1 imaging between the digital plate mask and the printing plate, eliminating the need for a digital bump curve. Benefits include reduced fluting, extended print gamut, longer plate life, higher contrast, and smoother vignettes. "In addition, when combined with HD-XM flexo screens and robust color management, printers can achieve increased resolution and print quality comparable to offset," Skrzynski says. "We believe these unprecedented improvements truly make this the next generation of digital platemaking. In recognition of this game-changing technology, CSW's Digital Plate System is now known as Gen2™."
