Esko Releases Full HD Flexo for Flexible Packaging

Unlike other processes that require intermediate analogue or manual exposure steps, this is the first and only fully digital platemaking workflow in the industry. Full HD plates are prepared completely within an Esko CDI imager and are immediately ready for processing after unloading.

How Does Full HD Flexo work?
The CDI combines plate imaging with in-line digital main exposure in one and the same device. The digital Inline UV2 exposes through an LED-array light source delivering the necessary UV power density to assure full control over the polymerization process during exposure. All UV exposure settings are digitally controlled within the platemaking workflow. This guarantees platemaking consistency—long-term stable and repeatable quality well beyond what is achievable with conventional UV exposure frames.
