Screen to show packaging developments at Labelexpo Americas

- PlateRite FX870II and Equios to form part of stand at Labelexpo Americas 2012

 

- Event to take place September 11-13 in Chicago, with package printing having a strong presence

 

Screen USA will show hardware and software developments for the packaging and label industries on its stand at Labelexpo Americas 2012, taking place September 11-13 in Chicago.

 

It will show the PlateRite FX870II digital imaging recorder (pictured, top), which outputs narrow web flexo digital plates, letterpress digital plates and thermal ablative film for the production of tags, labels, plastic bags and specialty materials.

 

An option for imaging thermal offset plates is also available.

 

A choice of 2,400dpi, 2,540dpi and 4,800dpi resolutions coupled with screen rulings up to 200lpi enables consistently precise imaging.

 

The PlateRite FX870II is designed to support several screening methods, Screen’s 4,800dpi Flexo Dot Hybrid Screening among them.

 

Screen will also show its new universal workflow system Equios, which supports print-on-demand and digital plate production using a single interface.

 

Equios drives multi-device output and controls all stages of production, from receipt of the customer file through delivery of the finished project.

 

The system automates job management, including imposition and color management, across different Screen digital output devices, as well as inkjet and toner-based print-on-demand presses and proofers from third-party vendors.

 

Operators monitor and manage jobs from a central dashboard. The Equios Autoflow function allows users to define print workflows depending on the product type or size selected. This can be integrated into any web-to-print interface.
