DuPont Packaging Graphics has introduced the DuPont Cyrel Quality Assured Platemaking programme designed to help users to achieve the highest print quality from flexographic printing plates.
This updated programme builds on the 15-year tradition of the Cyrel QA Tradeshop programme where test plates are analysed in detail by technical experts.
‘The flexographic industry has grown, flexo pre-press has become more complicated and platemaking has proliferated since DuPont first established a quality assurance programme,’ said Wendy Andrushko, North American business director. ‘Being recognised as a DuPont Cyrel Quality Assured Platemaker is designed to inspire confidence from the market in our customers’ ability to deliver consistently superior quality press-ready plates that optimise their brand image and competitive edge.’
Under the programme, technical experts based at the DuPont Cyrel Customer Technology Center provide applicants with test files that are imaged and processed in either a standard digital or flat top digital workflow. Finished digital plates are then carefully examined to provide platemakers with a detailed analysis and specific feedback on plate quality as well as recommendations for improvement, if needed.
Cyrel customers who are recognised as a part of this programme will be listed as DuPont Cyrel Quality Assured Platemakers on the DuPont Packaging Graphics website, and will receive an award plaque for display.
