Imaging Technologies – the DuPont division dedicated to printing and packaging graphics - will show products which bring productivity and quality enhancements to digital prepress and flexo plate production at the 2006 edition of Grafitalia, which will take place May 9-13 at the new Fiera Milano fairgrounds.

DuPont Color Communication
Cromalin® Largo - the newest addition to the Cromalin® proofing family is driven by an all new Cromanet™ CS (Colour Server) colour management software, that produces contract quality proofs with DuPont ink and specialty proofing media.
Cromalin® blue - the latest evolution of the Cromalin® digital product, which revolutionised digital contract proofing with exact matching to recognised industry standards, is also driven by the new Cromanet™ CS (Colour Server) colour management software and will be shown in conjunction with a special solution for digital contract proofing called "in line calibration".
Inline Calibration - a new standard for contract proofing using inline spectrophotometer. It allows repro professionals and printers to produce proofs with confidence in data and color integrity. Inline Calibration is a new application which verifies proof jobs, and is a software extension to the contract proofing capabilities of the Cromalin® digital systems.
According to Gaetan Raevens, Global Marketing Manager, DuPont Color Communication, "Many companies claim to provide accurate remote proofing using desktop inkjet technology. From our tests, this cannot yet provide proofing which is consistent, predictable and to a recognised standard. Cromalin® in conjunction with Inline Calibration is able to provide ensured colour assurance."

 Cyrel® FAST 4260TD 
Cyrel® FAST 1000TD |
Showing for the first time in Italy, the revolutionary and wide format Cyrel® FAST TD4260 processing system for flexo plates will provide an ideal thermal and solvent less solution for trade shops and flexible packaging printers and converters.
Working in conjunction, DuPont and Esko-Graphics have developed a totally integrated offering to cover the majority of flexo applications which consists of the following products:
Cyrel® FAST 1000TD, Cyrel® 1000 ECLF and Cyrel® Digital Imager, suitable for plates up to 90 x 120 cm and designed to bring the benefits of direct imaging to Tag and Label printers and lower volume trade shops.
Cyrel® FAST TD4260, Cyrel® 2000 ECLF and Cyrel® Digital Imager, suitable for plates up to 106 x 152 cm and designed to bring the benefits of direct image exposure to Flexible Packaging printers and higher volume trade shops.
Cyrel® FAST - a dry, thermal technology for processing flexo plates exposed digitally by the Cyrel® Digital Imager or conventionally with film. The Cyrel® FAST system completely eliminates conventional chemical solvents and aqueous washout solutions. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, this technology may reduce platemaking times by up to 70%, saving time and money over alternative processing methods.
"We have been working with our customers for many years to reduce the prepress proportion of flexo printing cycle times," confirms Ignacio Román Navarro, Marketing Manager, DuPont Packaging Graphics Europe MEA. "The Cyrel® FAST system provides improved press productivity by ensuring the right plates are available within the short timeframe, even in the eventuality of a plate remake. This translates into higher profitability with no compromise on quality."
"The working combination of Cyrel® FAST and the Cyrel® Digital Imager at Grapfitalia underlines the focus for DuPont Imaging Technologies for the future," states Ignacio. "We are concentrating on the delivery of key technologies which advance flexography. Cyrel® FAST provides yet another opportunity for flexo to compete against the traditional strongholds of gravure and offset for packaging print production."
Grafitalia - the most important exhibition in Italy for all suppliers and users of prepress and printing technologies will take place May 9-13 at the new Fiera Milano fairgrounds. http://www.gecmilano.it
