Shilp Gravures achieves Full HD certification
Shilp Gravures, a flexographic platemaking house in India, has installed Esko’s Full HD Flexo system, which is a combination of in-line UV2 technology on its CDI 4260 digital flexo imager and special screening with micro cell structures.

As a result, Shilp Gravures, known for achieving high quality in gravure cylinder making, is now matching gravure quality with flexography. Full HD Flexo allows flexographic printing to compete with offset and gravure quality.
Gajanan Bhavsar, marketing director at Shilp Gravure, said: ‘Many customers want to move their jobs to flexo because the runs are getting shorter and they demand gravure-like quality from flexo. To achieve it, we needed a technology that could produce improved quality of solids and whites, print consistency, good image details and contrasts, highlights to zero and smooth vignettes.
‘We found that all these requirements are achievable by Full HD Flexo technology. And now, the Full HD Flexo certification from Esko gives our customers the confidence to move the highest quality work from gravure to flexography, which is what many of the leading brand owners want.’
Peter Henderson of Esko added: ‘The Full HD Flexo certification is awarded to a customer after thorough implementation of the technology by Esko Full HD Flexo experts at the customer’s site, which includes defining a set of dots with specific shape and size as per the customers set-up and requirement.
‘This is a continuous process with periodical follow-ups from Esko to ensure that the customer’s Full HD Flexo quality continues to meet the benchmarks. Among the best of the best in their field, every Full HD Flexo Certified company is listed on Esko’s website.’
