Esko has installed the new CDI Spark 2420 flexo plate imager at Label24.de, a division of Druckerei Heinen in Germany.
The CDI Spark 2420 has been designed for the tag and label market. Other systems from Esko include the CDI Spark 1712, 2120 and 2530, each of them serving different plate sizes.
According to the company, the imager can handle a wide range of plate materials, including digital flexo plates, chemistry free film, digital foil-based letterpress plates, digital metal-based letterpress plates and digital silk screens.
Label24.de managing partner Jochem Heinen said Esko could meet the company's requirements for digital imaging.
"We needed to make a change since it is certainly not clear how much longer film imaging will be a viable technology in the manufacture of labels and tags," Heinen said.
