At the upcoming Labelexpo Asia, Xeikon Prepress will showcase its highly productive ThermoFlexX 30 digital imager. Its innovative design positions the ThermoFlexX 30 as a cost-efficient, flexible and high quality solution for imaging the widest range of flexo and letterpress plates. The ThermoFlexX 30 will be on display on stand H22, hall E2. Labelexpo Asia takes place in Shanghai, China from December 3 to 6.
“With almost 20 years of experience in Computer-to-Plate development and manufacturing, Xeikon Prepress is a leading technology innovator in the printing industry,” says Christophe Lievens, Director of Sales and Marketing Xeikon Prepress. “With our ThermoFlexX products we reconfirm our position by producing imagers, for the flexographic and letterpress industry, with unique and innovative features. We are excited to demonstrate and highlight this to visitors of Labelexpo Asia, an important show for the label and packaging industry.”
Flexibility in resolution
Xeikon Prepress offers a range of six ThermoFlexX digital imagers, each with their own maximum plate size capability and laser power. All ThermoFlexX engines can image plates at the standard 2400, 2540 as well as the optional 4000, 4800 and 5080 dpi. With the highest resolution of 5080 dpi, the product is technology-ready to raise the quality level of output to the newest industry standards. “By offering a wide range of output resolutions, we strengthen our open standard philosophy. Offering a seamless integration with any workflow on the market lowers the threshold to make the step towards digital flexo platemaking,” adds Lievens.
Unique range of benefits
The ThermoFlexX solution comes with a range of unique benefits. Advanced clamping design allows plates to be mounted easily on to the drum, while a uniquely designed vacuum slider offers the flexibility to use plates of any width. This is highly beneficial to operators as there is no need to cut the plates to fit a dedicated vacuum zone thus allowing the use of cut-off scraps. The ThermoFlexX solution also features ergonomic plate mounting and its hybrid drum offers flexibility of holding plates in place either by vacuum or by magnetics.
Worldwide network for local service and support
Xeikon’s worldwide service network will provide local support for the full range of ThermoFlexX products. Sales of the product is conducted via Xeikon’s authorized dealer network.
