DuPont readies new flexo plate technology

DuPont Packaging Graphics has launched Cyrel Easy, a new flexographic printing plate technology platform designed to simplify the pre-press process by building flat top digital dots directly into the plate.

Cyrel Easy technology is currently in market testing at select DuPont customers around the world

DuPont said this results in increased productivity and consistency, and the development is part of an on-going effort to drive progress in the flexographic printing industry by improving quality, sustainability and productivity.

Cyrel Easy technology is currently in market testing at select DuPont customers around the world, and commercial sales of the first generation of printing plates from the Cyrel Easy platform are scheduled for the third quarter of 2015.

John Chrosniak, global business director at DuPont Packaging Graphics, said: ‘DuPont is excited to bring forward yet another key innovation to advance flexography. By building flat top dot capability directly into Cyrel Easy plates, we’re making it fast and simple to enhance productivity, while delivering world-class print quality.’
