The Kodak FLEXCEL NX Plate is an important part of the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Digital Flexographic System. With the FLEXCEL NX System for the first time you can achieve gravure-class print quality on a wide variety of substrates. The secret lies in the dots created on the plates. Using KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, dots as small as 10 microns are imaged onto the KODAK FLEXCEL NX Thermal Imaging Layer. Laminating the Thermal Imaging Layer to the FLEXCEL NX Plate eliminates all oxygen between the layer and the plate, allowing stable, full-amplitude, flat-top dots to form. The results are consistent, predictable printing, even of subtle gradations and challenging shadows and highlights.
