DuPont Develops New Digital Plate System

While testing has shown that the conventional digital dot profile still produces the best image carrier for most flexo applications, in those cases when a customer needs the digital hybrid shape, Cyrel XD systems will allow them to do that.

“During these challenging economic times, DuPont Packaging Graphics intends to bring solutions to our customers that help them maintain their competitive advantage without having to recapitalize,” said Bodwell. “Systems and upgrades need to be low-cost and workflows need to remain flexible and open. The Cyrel XD system is low-cost and there are no proprietary films or consumables associated. In the end, a customer can just drop it in and go.”
