 Cyrel® Digital Imager

EskoArtwork, a key packaging industry partner for DuPont Packaging Graphics, recently installed the 1,000th Cyrel® Digital Imager (CDI) at German-based Scholler GmbH & Co KG in Nuremberg.

Since 1995, the CDI has been a key to the flexo industry’s move to a fully-digital workflow.  Today, more than 70 percent of all flexo digital imagers sold globally are CDIs, and an estimated 90 percent of all digital flexo plates worldwide are imaged on CDI equipment.

“DuPont and EskoArtwork have worked together for more than a decade to bring innovative systems that enhance both quality and productivity. We anticipate that the industry will continue to move to a fully digital prepress workflow,” said Lisa DiGate, global business director, DuPont Packaging Graphics.

“We are proud that the CDI has helped flexography to develop into a significant printing technology -- not just in cost but also in quality,” said Jürgen Andresen, EskoArtwork vice president -- Flexo Business.   “Brand owners and converters specifically ask for digital flexo because of the enhanced print quality, increased productivity and consistent results from plate run to plate run, all of which help reduce time to market.”
