XSYS has introduced the nyloflex® XSN, a flexographic plate specifically designed for narrow web printing. The plate is engineered to deliver high performance and adaptability, addressing the demands of printers working with UV, water-based, and solvent-based inks.
Florian Hoelzle, Product Manager for nyloflex® plates at XSYS, highlighted the advantages of the new plate. “The nyloflex® XSN empowers narrow web printers to meet rapidly changing market demands with confidence,” he said. “Its unique flat-top dot structure and CleanRelease Technology enhance productivity by ensuring cleaner plates, extended print runs, and reduced press downtime.”
The nyloflex® XSN features:
- Compatibility with thermal and solvent processing methods
- Advanced CleanRelease Technology for reduced ink buildup
- Outstanding performance across various substrates and ink types
The plate’s inherent flat-top dot design eliminates the need for additional equipment, enabling a straightforward integration into existing workflows. This plug-and-play capability is expected to simplify production and reduce operational costs for printers.
A key innovation in the nyloflex® XSN is its CleanRelease Technology, which minimizes ink accumulation on the plate surface. This reduces the frequency of press stops and cleaning, leading to enhanced overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
“The nyloflex® XSN sets a new benchmark in narrow web printing by combining cutting-edge technology with practical usability,” Hoelzle added.
With its dual compatibility for thermal and solvent processing, the plate allows printers to adapt quickly to design changes and demanding production schedules. Its versatility ensures exceptional print quality on both paper and film substrates, making it a valuable tool for high-pressure environments.
The launch of the nyloflex® XSN underscores XSYS’s commitment to innovation in flexographic printing, providing solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency.
