  • Press Release
    Press Release Contact Trendelina Kryeziu Marketing & Communications Manager M: +49 711 9816 389 [email protected] XSYS joins forces with Nilpeter and Reproflex Scandinavia to deliver high quality flexo solutions Stuttgart, Germany. 14 July 2021. XSYS is pleased to announce a new supplier collaboration for 2021 with narrow web flexo press manufacturer Nilpeter and prepress specialist Reproflex Scandinavia. Leveraging the strengths of each company, the new partnership has been initiated to deliver flexo print solutions that will enable customers to produce unrivalled, high quality tags and labels. Demands on printers to deliver consistently high-quality print with no defects or colour variations, at lower cost and with quick delivery, continues unabated. Meanwhile, the variables inherent in the flexo process can negatively affect the outcome and quickly eat into profitability. By working closely with other leading industry suppliers, XSYS is dedicated to developing innovative and robust flexo solutions for customers to help them reach, and even exceed, their goals. The products included in the new project comprise: • Plates by XSYS – The nyloflex® FTS Digital is an inherent flat top dot plate for printing flexible packaging, tags and labels on foil or paper substrates with solvent, water or UV ink. The versatile plate can be used with standard solvent processing equipment. The smooth plate surface has a very fine grain that is able to hold customized surface screening patterns. It also features AIF technology with outstanding sub-surface ink repellence to prevent ink filling, thereby keeping plates clean during print runs and allowing increased press uptime. • Printing by Nilpeter – the QUALITY label job was printed on a Nilpeter FA-17.

  • Flexo and Packaging.Pdf
    Look around you—on store shelves, in your home—and you’re certain to see material that’s been printed by flexography. Though often taken for granted, packaging is everywhere, and so, too, is flexography; it prints candy wrappers, shopping bags, corrugated boxes, milk cartons, gift wrap, wallpaper, and many other goods and packages. Printing on packaging is essential to businesses around the world. In fact, graphics on packages provide some of the most important advertising for the products themselves. Flexography’s soft compressible plates, fast-drying inks, and its simple, efficient inking system make it possible for manufacturers to reproduce high-quality graphics on a wide variety of surfaces. Over the last decade, the use of the flexographic printing process has been growing approximately eight percent a year, a rate unparalleled by any other printing technology. Although some of this growth can be attributed to a greater need for packaging, flexography is increasingly used in markets traditionally served by gravure and offset lithography. Since advances in technology have significantly improved flexography’s ability to print accurate type, color, and halftone images, manufacturers and print buyers are recognizing flexography as a high-quality, economical alternative to gravure and lithographic printing. This booklet describes the flexographic printing process from start to finish, including design, color, and prepress considerations. Understanding the requirements of flexography helps ensure that designs will look their best, and will aid

  • Making Hifi Separations in Photoshop a Simple, Inexpensive Way of Creating Hifi Color ‘Touch Plate’ Separations in Photoshop
    Making HiFi Separations in Photoshop A simple, inexpensive way of creating HiFi color ‘touch plate’ separations in Photoshop. This process uses normal commercial CMYK inks - not Hexachrome™ colors. Introduction Although the best known HiFi color system is Hexachrome™, other HiFi systems have existed for years. One of the most effective is to print a second set of C, M and/or Y ‘touch plates’ with conventional inks to maximize density and color saturation. The extra plates carry detail only where the image needs more than 100% of a particular ink. Printing two plates with the same ink yields a full range of dot values up to 200% and individual ink densities up to 2.2 or more in saturated areas, without increasing dot gain. The process works best with commercial inks but is fully compatible with SWOP ink and press conditions. It can be proofed on any chemical or digital proofing system that allows two passes of each color in register. Normal screen angles are used because the second plates only print where the first ones are solid. Separations are easily retouched in Photoshop® with an accurate soft-proof of the final HiFi result visible on screen. The method described here is experimental. Quality depends heavily on the number of patches printed in the profiling target. Ideally 2000 or more should be used, but even 1000 patches may produce useful results. Benefits · Increases color gamut in richly saturated colors, especially deep reds and blues. · Compatible with most analog prepress proofing systems (if normal inks are used) · Printing the first plates to lower densities will further expand the gamut of bright colors and pastels, but at the cost of compatibility with analog proofing.
