At Phoenix Printing Plates, we are committed to continually enhancing our capabilities to deliver superior quality and efficiency to our clients. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce the installation of two state-of-the-art machines: the Esko XPS Crystal 5080 and a new Kongsberg cutting table. These additions will significantly improve our production processes and the quality of our products.
Introducing the Esko XPS Crystal 5080
The Esko XPS Crystal 5080 is a cutting-edge flexo plate exposure unit that combines UV main and back exposure using UV LED technology. This innovative approach ensures consistent and high-quality plates, reducing variability and enhancing print performance.
Key Features:
-
Consistent Exposure: Utilises UV LEDs for both main and back exposure, eliminating the need for warm-up time and providing consistent radiation output.
-
Enhanced Plate Quality: Achieves exceptional plate consistency, contributing to optimal print quality and reduced waste.
-
Reduced Operator Time: Advances in plate room automation enable consistent quality while reducing time and errors
-
Sustainability: The XPS Crystal has received multiple GreenCircle certifications, highlighting its energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
This technology has been recognized with the Technical Innovation Award in Prepress Graphics by the Flexographic Technical Association, underscoring its impact on the industry.
Upgrading with a New Kongsberg Cutting Table
In addition to the Esko XPS Crystal 5080, we have also installed a new Kongsberg cutting table. Known for their precision and reliability, Kongsberg cutting tables will now be integral to our finishing process, ensuring accurate and efficient cutting of flexo plates.
Benefits:
-
Precision Cutting: Delivers accurate cuts, enhancing the quality of finished plates.
