This involves high end substrates such as pressure sensitive and self-adhesive labels, shrink wrap and wrap around labels, tickets, tags and boards.

Cyrel DFUV is a thermal process plate that comes to color quickly and prints smooth and dense solids, without compromising dot gain, highlights and resolution. Unlike other plates, which are engineered for very long print runs for wide web flexible packaging, it is specifically designed for shorter print runs using UV inks on high priced stock where minimizing the startup waste is essential. The plate comes up to color almost immediately and is designed for very fine screens.

“The new Cyrel DFUV plate was developed specifically for the narrow web printer who needs a high-performance flexographic printing plate for use with UV inks,” said John Chrosniak, global business director, DuPont Packaging Graphics.  “As we continue to advance quality, productivity and sustainability for flexographic printing, this new plate is an outstanding addition to our portfolio.”
