Esko-Graphics Introduces New CYREL Digital Imager (CDI) SPARK 2120 Flexo Platesetter.
Esko-Graphics, the world leader in digital imaging of flexo plates, announced the introduction of the Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) Spark 2120, a small footprint flexo imager designed for narrow web, tag and label printing at LABELEXPO in Brussels. Built for digital photopolymer plates, ablative film, or polyester-base letterpress plates of up to 21` x 20`(533 x 508 mm), the imager performs all functions converters and prepress trade shops have come to expect from CDI Spark flexo platesetters.
The CDI Spark 2120 boasts fully variable resolutions from 2000 to 2540 ppi and is capable of screen rulings up to 200 lpi, with halftone imaging from 1-99% - suitable for high-quality tags and labels. The CDI Spark 2120's small footprint is 45.7` wide x 27.6`deep x 41.3`high (1160mm x 700mm x 1050mm). It uses the same external drum imaging design as all CDI imagers, and can image a full size plate in 16 minutes at 2000 ppi.
Driven by Esko-Graphics' Scope workflow, the CDI Spark 2120 integrates easily into highly demanding production environments where last minute changes and flexible sheet layouts are daily requirements. Through Esko-Graphics' vast experience in digital flexo workflows, a rich and unique set of flexo-dedicated features is within reach of the CDI Spark customer, including state of the art screening, color management and dot gain compensation tools. A Scope workflow is ready to scale up towards a fully automated workflow with JDF driven 'step and repeat' and integration with operational business systems like MIS or DAM.
