AMGRAPH Packaging, Baltic, Connecticut, has partnered with West Essex Graphics to produce one of the first packaging designs to utilize DuPont’s new Cyrel Lightning plates technology.
This printing breakthrough received the Technical Innovation Award from the Flexographic Technical Association in 2022.
The Cyrel Lightning LSH plate was specifically developed for use with UV-LED plate exposure, which reportedly leads to improved quality and consistency when compared to conventional UV bulbs.
Previously, UV-LED exposure of plates had to be adjusted for either higher quality or shorter exposure time, but the Cyrel Lightning plates eliminate this compromise because they were formulated with UV-LED exposure characteristics in mind, according to the manufacturer.
