Flexo CtP?Out of the Gates

DuPont Imaging Technologies is on the leading edge of digital plate technology with its Cyrel® Digital plates. These plates are coated with a laser ablation mask (LAM) that, when imaged in a CtP engine, creates a photo mask that is in direct contact with the plate material, describes Ray Bodwell, digital marketing manager. "Once the imaging step is completed, the digital plate is processed in the same sequence of steps as an analog sheet photopolymer plate."
