EskoArtwork launches HD Flexo version 2.0

EskoArtwork has launched HD Flexo version 2.0. HD Flexo combines 4000 dpi HD optics on the EskoArtwork Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) with advanced screening technologies to produce sharper and more accurate imaging.

The new version 2.0 with improved screening provides higher solid ink density (SID) for more vibrant colors on packaging. This result can be achieved while printing with standard flexo inks and anilox rollers.

HD Flexo is part of EskoArtwork’s Digital Flexo Portfolio. It is claimed to offer near-offset quality across all flexo print applications. Version 2.0 operates with the customer’s existing CDI equipment, plates and working methods, completed with specifically tuned dots and without tying the customer to specific plates or other consumables.

‘HD Flexo has been a tremendous success, adopted and applauded by leading flexo printers worldwide,’ said Jürgen Andresen, EskoArtwork vice president, Flexo Business. ‘Now, EskoArtwork is responding to the further wishes of our customers worldwide to extend HD Flexo capabilities. We have strengthened HD Flexo’s position as the “open” industry standard for high quality flexo, available for all flexo applications – labels, flexible packaging and corrugated – and supported by major plate manufacturers. These new capabilities further enable conversion of gravure and offset work to flexo. The enhanced process color gamut makes it possible to replace spot colors with process colors, thus reducing the number of print stations and making co-printing of designs possible.’
