OEC Graphics Combines ITR and HD Flexo

MIAMISBURG, Ohio—Flexographic prepress supplier OEC Graphics says it is using its EskoArtwork CDI Advance 1750, together with EskoArtwork HD Flexo version 2.0 and inline UV capability, to divert business from gravure and offset. In addition, OEC has combined the EskoArtwork HD Flexo with in-the-round (ITR) sleeve production to provide high-definition flexo imaging and screening of sleeves. Said to be the first solution of its kind in North America, the use of HD Flexo and ITR is the result of combing two leading-edge technologies: EskoArtwork's HD Flexo version 2.0 and Seamex®, OEC's proprietary seamless photopolymer sleeve solution.
