A&V introduces new EskoArtwork digital imager

The CDI Spark 2420, a new digital imager designed for the tag and label market to simplify transition to a digital workflow, is now available from Anderson & Vreeland, a manufacturer and distributor of flexographic plate processing equipment and materials.   

Anderson & Vreeland collaborated with the narrow web industry and EskoArtwork to develop this entry-level digital imaging system that is claimed to offer all the benefits of digital plates without the cost of unnecessary features. The benefits of digital platemaking are ‘widely recognized’, says the company, citing print quality rivaling offset and gravure, print consistency, faster processing, reduced costs, and improved sustainability.

‘This small footprint CDI makes it easier to transition to digital platemaking. It’s the right size with the right features at the right price,’ said Bill Bower, director of sales for Anderson & Vreeland. 

The CDI Spark 2420 is said to offer superior plate quality, resulting in excellent highlights, details and coverage in shadows. The CDI Spark 2420 offers flexibility as it is designed to match entry-level production needs and expand capabilities as the customer’s business grows.

The CDI Spark 2420 images a full size 24in x 20in (609 x 508 mm) plate of arbitrary thickness in 23 minutes. It images with variable resolutions from 2000 to 2540 ppi, and is capable of screen rulings up to 200 lpi, with halftone imaging from 1-99 percent. The CDI Spark 2420 is equipped with a high power fiber laser for high quality and productivity, and comes with a vacuum drum for plate loading via tape.
