In-Line Folding Carton Converting

Today, thanks to developments such as Kodak's new FLEXCEL NX flexo plate system with DigiCap NX screening, flexo can now achieve up to 300 lpi with AM screening, and 20 micron FM screening; produce consistent dot sizes as low as a 10 micron dot; print all 256 gray levels down to a true 0.4 percent dot; and achieve the color densities similar to gravure, with plate costs that are much less than gravure. In addition, the Kodak FLEXCEL NX system can take existing offset or gravure files and use them to make flexo plates using AM or FM screening without additional prepress curves or separations.
