Mark Andy Print Products, the supplies and consumables
division of Mark Andy Inc., is pleased to announce the addition of DigiFlex to
its platemaking equipment offering. Mark Andy Print Products specializes in the
distribution of value added platemaking equipment and a variety of pressroom
supplies, specifically in support of optimizing and advancing the flexo
workflow.
The DigiFlex FlexoJet system is a revolutionary inkjet based
computer to plate (CTP) solution for photopolymer flexographic, letterpress,
dry offset and rotary silk screen printing technologies. This unique system
allows high quality, affordable analog plate materials to be imaged
digitally—producing superior results with very low acquisition and ongoing costs.
Mark Andy Print Products will market and distribute the DigiFlex flexographic
CTP system via direct and inside sales organizations, concentrating on label
and package printers and converters throughout North America. The efficiency of
this equipment is an attractive solution for small format label and package
printing companies to bring platemaking in house.
DuPont Cyrel, which is the leading plate material brand also
carried by Mark Andy Print Products, has tested and validated the DigiFlex CTP
system and has found it to be fully compatible with Cyrel solvent and Cyrel
FAST plates. Joe Calmese, director of flexo consumables for Mark Andy Print
Products, commented, “Having the ability to offer DigiFlex and DuPont Cyrel
plates together is a unique and exclusive offering which allows us to provide a
total solution to converters in their platemaking efforts. Mark Andy Print
Products strives to provide unique products that truly optimize a converters’
operation. This combination will enable many of our customers to manage their
own digital platemaking in-house improving their overall efficiency.”
Kevin Cazabon, DigiFlex director of sales for North America,
commented, “We are proud to be associated with the premiere brand that is Mark
Andy, and that they will be offering our solution to their extensive customer
base. When combined with the DuPont line of high quality solvent and thermally
processed flexographic plates, together we provide a unique value and return on
investment for the narrow web market.”

Products is a complete resource for all supplies, consumables and equipment to
support the pressroom. The group maintains an extensive inventory and supplier
