The new plates can improve solid ink density, reduce waste, save time and cost in applications involving 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, Cyrel DFUV is specifically designed for shorter print runs using UV inks on high priced stock where mini- mizing the startup waste is essential. Cyrel DFUV comes up to color almost immediately and is designed for very fine screens. DuPont Packaging Graphics, celebrating its 40th year of innovation, is one of the world's leading suppliers of flexographic plate-making systems in digital and conventional formats, including DuPont Cyrel photopolymer plates, Cyrel FAST processing equipment, Cyrel round sleeves, mounting and finishing products.
