Athena Graphics has been an Esko customer since it was founded in 1991, and said the addition of an Esko CDI imager with Full HD Flexo capabilities takes it ‘another step ahead of the competition’.

Ignace Cosaert, managing director at Athena Graphics, said: ‘Brand owners today simply demand the very best quality. Printers are looking for new ways to meet that demand. And with Full HD Flexo from Esko, we have found the right solution to satisfy those needs.

‘Because of the unique dot shape this technology creates, we now can produce flexo plates that not only deliver superior printing quality, but also better performance and consistency during the printing process.

‘Because Esko Full HD Flexo allows for a much broader color gamut, we are now able to use four or five colors instead of six to get to the same high-quality end result,’ Cosaert adds.
