Aspen
Memjet has launched Aspen, a page-wide color inkjet print engine. Aspen is optimized
for on-demand, high-quality color printing label and commercial presses, boasting speeds of
225 feet per minute, full dot control, and flexible configurations for retro-fitting printers with
digital capabilities.
Aspen enables print shops to ensure the accuracy of the data pipeline, in which informa-
tion is transferred to the actual printer, with full dot control. By directing the precise dot
placement, Aspen transfers the power to end-users to control what is printed on the page
including color, exact shape, shading, line values and gradation. Full dot control also equips
print shops with overall higher print quality. The dot precision provides improvements in
the half-toning of the system for robust, smooth tones that translate to photographic quality.
Aspen also features 70,400 nozzles that deliver millions of ink
drops per second, and the page-wide printhead proves
1,600 dpi native print resolution in full process color.
Aspen is available in three configurations:
• A single print engine as a standalone printer
• Two print engines mounted side-by-side for
up to 17-inch-wide media Web allowing B size
printing
• Four print engines for double Web and
duplex printing on the same Web

Cyrel FAST DFUV Flexographic Printing Plate
DuPont Packaging Graphics (DuPont) has introduced the new DuPont Cyrel FAST DFUV
flexographic printing plate, designed for superior output when used with ultraviolet (UV) cur-
able inks. 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.
