Benefits


Move flexo plate making closer to the press

With Esko’s new Crystal technology digital plate imaging and UV exposure (simultaneously main and back!) are combined in one automated process.

This means that there’s less need for the operator to interfere. This also means that it has become easier for converters to start making their own plates, closer to the press. This allows the converters to boost on-time delivery.
