DuPont Develops New Digital Plate System

“The Cyrel XD system will allow digital platemakers to use their existing computer-to-plate (CTP) and platemaking systems to produce the hybrid digital dot on an ‘as-needed’ basis. A low-cost modification to the UV main exposure unit will allow the flexographer to turn the Cyrel XD system ‘on’ when they wish to produce a hybrid digital dot or ‘off’ when they wish to produce a traditional digital dot,” said Ray Bodwell, marketing manager for DuPont Packaging Graphics.
