STUTTGART, Germany—Flint Group, a leader in flexographic plates and sleeves solutions, announces the latest addition of a new flexo thermal plate to its nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processing System, the nyloflex XVH Digital.
The nyloflex XVH Digital is the first inherently flat top dot plate of the thermal plate family, with a unique formulation optimized to be processed on the nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processor. The versatile plate is designed to serve the flexible packaging and label market, delivering high-quality print results on various substrates with all ink systems. Thanks to the inherent flat top dots in nyloflex XVH Digital, there is no need for additional equipment or auxiliaries, which is perfectly suited for printers who want to benefit of fast plate production and of flat top dot plates.
The Xpress Thermal Processing System was first launched in 2016, and since then introduced to customers globally under the tagline, “Thermal Like You’ve Never Seen Before.”
“Thermal processing systems for the production of flexographic printing plates have been in the market for many years. We didn’t believe that with the technology available at that time, we could meet our customers’ or our own quality expectations from thermally processed plates,” says Friedrich von Rechteren, global commercial VP flexographic. He continues, “As we shadowed the market and developments in thermal technologies, we put a focus group within our own R&D department with the aim to develop a thermal processing system, which delivers plate and print results the market has never seen before.”
