A DETAILED REVIEW OF FLEXCEL NX SYSTEM

Let’s review the Flexcel NX system. Get excited about high print densities and dependable print consistency. How about a solid NX advantage that sets you up for success on press? Bright and super clean colors that run the gamut, smoother transitions, wider tonal range, and impressive print contrast. Designs love it. Kodak imaging technology has capabilities beyond those of traditional high definition plate systems. The flexibility to make fixed color palette printing a practical reality? Say yes to impact.

5 THINGS THAT KODAK’S THERMAL IMAGING LAYER (TIL) FILM TECHNOLOGY ENABLES

  • true 1:1 image reproduction from file to finished plate
  • the fastest digital flexo plate imaging in the industry
  • powerful NX Advantage technology
  • the total predictability and consistency for which
    Kodak plates have become known
  • the simplest flexo plate portfolio in the industry

SQUARESPOT IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

  • Unique imaging technology
  • Overcomes error limitations of Gaussian laser
  • Fastest imaging for flexo

WHAT’S DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL DIGITAL FLEXO?

  • Traditional digital flexo ctp imagers create a round Gaussian laser profile
  • With fiber lasers the energy tapers off towards the outer diameter
    • High power in middle
    • Low power at edges
  • Results in a Gaussian (soft / fuzzy) profile
  • Leads to variability in mask imaging
  • Round beam trying to match a square pixel
  • Beam has to be larger than the pixel to overlap for full coverage
  • Increasing resolution does not overcome these fundamental limitations

FLEXCEL NX SYSTEM SOLVES THE PROBLEM

  • The Trendsetter NX uses Kodak SQUAREspot Imaging Technology
  • The pixels start in the digital files as squares
  • Pixel-4-Pixel reproduction with even energy distribution maximizes consistency, eliminating conversion errors
    • 2,400 dpi resolution
    • Effective 10,000 dpi resolution
    • 10.6 micron dots and micro lines become a reality
