Flexcel NX Plates are said to offer a wider tonal range than their conventional digital counterparts, as well as brighter highlights with less of the ‘flexo break’ effect. They reportedly also can be used to print higher densities with finer and more stable gradients. Kodak reports that folding carton printers using Flexcel NX Plates in daily production can print 20 micron stochastic and higher conventional linescreens. They also report a 20 percent reduction in set-up time and substrate waste compared with previous digital flexo plates.
