Building on the outstanding
success of ThermoFlexX digital imagers and Woodpecker Nano screening
technology, Xeikon Prepress is launching a new and integrated prepress solution
for digital flexo plates.
Since Xeikon Prepress, as part of Xeikon, joined Flint Group in 2015, the two divisions combined forces in developing highly automated imaging devices and invested further into mutual R&D projects. Woodpecker Nano, a technology to create surface microstructures, is one of the innovations that was launched in April this year as a result of the unique expertise exchange between Xeikon Prepress and Flint Group’s Flexographic division.
“After joining the Flint Group family, we
suddenly were in the unique position of having the expertise of one of the
leading plate manufacturers combined with our own vast experience of imaging
systems, in-house, which is unseen in our industry. As we have optimized
ThermoFlexX imagers and developed Woodpecker Nano surface screening, we are now
going for the next level to integrate and combine these with new innovations”,
notes Uwe Stebani, General Manager of Xeikon Prepress. “We are sure that
industry experts will be excited to learn about our new integrated plate
imaging solutions,” adds Christophe Lievens, Sales Director of Xeikon Prepress.
“Labelexpo 2019 is a perfect opportunity to announce our vision of quality
enhancement in flexo plate-making.”
More recently, the two divisions
with their leading brands ThermoFlexX and nyloflex® focused on efficiency in
the packaging prepress value chain, with the objective to introduce an
integrated imaging system, producing highest quality flexographic printing
plates while increasing productivity in the prepress room. “Our respective
know-how in first class imaging devices, surface screening and photopolymer
flexo plates enables us to introduce innovative solutions to the packaging
prepress market. Our aim is to create the greatest value for our customers,
delivering our promise of solutions that are “Better. Faster. Easier to use,”
says Friedrich von Rechteren, Global Commercial VP Flexographic of Flint Group.
Flint Group Packaging is
prepared to announce its newest innovation during Labelexpo 2019, in Brussels,
and cordially invites the trade media to their press conference on Wednesday 25
September 2019 at 7:45 AM.
