Veepee Art Studios adopts Kodak Flexcel NX System and Prinergy Workflow

Kodak’s Flexcel NX System combines advanced plate surface patterning technology and advanced highlight imaging techniques, made possible by the unique nature of Kodak’s Squarespot imaging technology.    

Veepee Art Studios is seeking to expand its business by working across a variety of print applications, such label printing, corrugation and board printing, with the addition of Flexcel NX. It said the benefit for customers will be an exceptional quality of print using digital flexo technology that is comparable to gravure, without the limitations that come with analog and existing LAMS plates.

Jai Prakash of Veepee Art Studios said: ‘Kodak Flexcel NX System offers Veepee Art Studios the distinct advantage of true flat top dots – a standard that the industry increasingly desires. Kodak Squarespot imaging technology powers the advantage of producing very high-quality imaging. Not only does it boost final output, but it also leads to a faster plate-making process. Add to this the ability to hold even dots as small as 0.04 percent on the plate, and we eliminate all dot bumps or plate variability that is commonly seen with LAMS technology. Special screening technology also helps in rendering highlight dots, giving perfect vanishing vignettes.’

Veepee Art Studios is combining Flexcel NX with Kodak’s Prinergy Workflow. The integration of Prinergy into its operation will help the pre-press business reduce production errors, enhance productivity, achieve outstanding flexibility, accept all popular file formats, and manage proofing devices, digital printing machines and CTP devices directly. The software also ensures that Veepee Art Studios’ workflow process is custom-built to handle even the most complicated trapping and color requirements from its customers.

Abraham Prabhakar, vice president of micro 3D printing and packaging in Kodak’s India Cluster, said: ‘Today’s ultra-competitive market demands improved print quality with shorter run lengths and faster turnaround times. Veepee Art Studios is a pioneer in the market and transformational technology like Flexcel NX fits perfectly with their focus on exceeding their customers’ expectations for print quality and service excellence. There is no question they will be producing the most exceptional plate quality in the market.’
