DuPont Packaging Graphics has announced full commercialisation of Cyrel DigiFlow, a new digital workflow enhancement designed to expand the capabilities of digital Cyrel and digital Cyrel Fast to deliver superior print quality and productivity.
‘Higher quality at higher speed is our focus, and the enhanced capabilities of the new DigiFlow system continue to provide our customers with a competitive advantage,’ said Tracy Lunt, global technical manager. ‘It is a powerful tool to improve solid ink densities and print contrast, while maintaining the outstanding image quality typically associated with Cyrel, all within the existing digital workflow.’
The system is a relatively simple and inexpensive modification to the existing line of DuPont exposure units. It adds a chamber that allows the creation of a controlled atmosphere during the main exposure enabling one-to-one reproduction of image elements on the plate. This reproduction is critical to optimising the effects of solid screening patterns. The exposure units were designed for use on an ‘as needed’ basis, and can easily be switched off when the standard digital dot is the preferred result. Because of the low cost and flexibility, the company believes that this is the simplest and most cost-effective solution for those flexographers desiring the ability to seamlessly switch between standard and hybrid dots.
