DuPont Cyrel Solutions has launched the Cyrel Lightning LFH plate, a new addition to its Cyrel Lightning plate family, claiming the new plate delivers quick access times, consistent printing results, and a reduced environmental footprint.
According to DuPont, the UV-LED optimised Cyrel Lightning LFH plate offers a ‘quick, sustainable, and efficient solution to significant platemaking challenges’. The company said the new plate allows for the use of the latest screening technologies for enhanced print quality, making it ideal for trade shops and converters seeking to produce high-quality plates. The workflow is ‘simple to use’ and results in ‘outstanding prints’, DuPont added.
‘This new plate is optimised for the latest UV-LED exposure technology, such as the Esko XPS Crystal, and was designed for the sustainable thermal Cyrel FAST process,’ said Tucker Norton, global business leader, DuPont Cyrel Solutions. ‘Combining the unique stability of LED exposure with the quick, easy and solvent-free platemaking of Cyrel FAST helps our customers produce high-end printing plates quickly and efficiently.’
Mr Norton added, ‘We are confident that converters that are thinking about running platemaking operations in-house as well as other flexographic plate providers will appreciate the ease of use and high quality print forms that this workflow provides. Combining UV-LED exposure and thermal Cyrel FAST processing offers repeatable and sustainable platemaking combined with a small operational footprint.’
Announced at the FTA Forum and Infoflex events in the US, the Cyrel Lightning LFH is available in 1.14mm and 1.7mm (0.045in and 0.067in) thicknesses.
