DuPont Packaging Graphics – the DuPont division dedicated to packaging printing and graphics was presented to the press on June 20, 2006 at the opening of the new DuPont offices in Vilnius, Lithuania.
H-Peter Hormann, DuPont Packaging Graphics Sales Manager for TMEA, presented the overall DuPont Packaging Graphics business direction, the Flexographic Photopolymer Plates and Systems branded by DuPont and the revolutionary Cyrel® FAST dry system for flexo plates that provides an ideal thermal and solvent less solution for trade shops and packaging printers and converters.
DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST DuPont 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 H-Peter Hormann. "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 underlines the focus for DuPont Packaging Graphics for the future," states H-Peter. "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."
