New DuPont plate optimized for high value UV applications
DuPont Packaging Graphics has introduced the Cyrel FAST DFUV flexo plate, designed specifically for use with UV-curable inks. The new plates are claimed to ‘improve solid ink density, reduce waste, save time and cost’ in applications involving high end substrates such as self-adhesive labels, shrink wrap and wraparound labels.
‘The new Cyrel DFUV plate was developed specifically for the narrow web printer who needs a high-performance flexographic printing plate for use with UV inks,’ said John Chrosniak, global business director, DuPont Packaging Graphics. ‘As we continue to advance quality, productivity and sustainability for flexographic printing, this new plate is an outstanding addition to our portfolio.’
Cyrel DFUV is a thermal process plate that, says DuPont, comes to color quickly and prints smooth and dense solids, without compromising dot gain, highlights and resolution. Unlike plates engineered for very long print runs for wide web flexible packaging, Cyrel DFUV is specifically designed for shorter print runs using UV inks on high priced stock where minimizing the startup waste is essential. Cyrel DFUV is designed for very fine screens.
