Novadot SureJet: No Process Clear Inkjet CtP Polyester Film for colour separations for Offset, Screen and Flexo applications. SureJet is a high density polyester-based clear inkjet film for computer-to-film digital imaging using recommended inkjet printers. It is ideal for pleasing fullcolour & screen positives in any size, with unbeatable value-for-money. SureJet film is designed to produce high-resolution instant-drying fourcolour plate-ready positives in 2, 4 and 8 page formats, with UV density matching silver-based films. SureJet can also be used for generating negatives. However, the ink consumption is significantly higher than that for making positives. When imaged on high-resolution pigment-based inkjet printers (e.g. Epson Stylus Pro 800 / Epson new generation large format printers , 4450 / 7450 / 9450 / 4880 / 7880 / 9880 series), the patented ink-receiving layer ensures excellent reproduction of 2 98% dots at 2880 dpi, micro-fine lines and perfect solids. SureJet offers the lowest cost computer-to-film solution, ideally suited for commercial printers, newspapers, book & magazine publishers, screen printers, flexo printers and several other applications currently using expensive silver- based films.

Plateroom Automation Digital Flexo Suite:
Page 8
The Digital Flexo Suite offers significant cost savings through the automation of the flexo plate production. It is a collection of EskoArtwork's plate making software, designed especially for the needs of the packaging industry. The Digital Flexo Suite adds a flow of information to plate making. Automatically, instantly and with computerised accuracy a job is sent to the imager, files are created for cutting and data files are made for mounting. Packaging printers, converters and trade houses can increase their business and productivity by reducing plate wastage, eliminating human error and introducing automated traceability in the flexo plate production.
! Customers report an average plate wastage reduction of 15% when using the Digital Flexo Suite. ! Reducing the plate wastage has a direct positive impact on the CO balance. ! Automation of complex manual labour leads to less human mistakes. ! Each imaged and cut plate automatically receives a detailed plate report which can be used for invoicing
purposes as well as for Quality Control. Quicklink: www.pomeroy.co.uk/eskoflexosuite
HD Flexo:
HD Flexo is a new process for making digital flexo plates. The improved plates are higher quality and print more consistently than standard digital flexo plates. HD Flexo may be implemented without scrapping existing equipment and working methods. The quality of offset and gravure printing has always been somewhat of a Holy Grail for flexo. But, with HD Flexo, the gap is closed. Bringing consistency, vibrant colours and increased print quality, HD Flexo raises the industry standard for flexo printing. Flexo printing can now compete with offset for quality labels and with gravure printing for flexible packaging. In addition, digital plate exposure ensures greater consistency in plate production and in printing.
! ! ! ! ! ! !
Improved results of existing printing equipment. Industry standard quality supported by major plate vendors. Suitable for label printing, flexible packaging, corrugated and carton print. Better print quality and extended colour gamut. Greater run lengths. Move jobs from gravure to flexo. An open industry standard.

Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 ("A New Generation of Flexo & Gravure Proofing"):
Pomeroy Pressroom Products Ltd appointed Epson (UK) Ltd business partner for the new Epson Stylus Pro WT7900.
WHITE INK PROOFING

The Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 is an affordable, low maintenance proofer that in addition to the wide, eight colour gamut of the Epson UltraChrome ink range, utilises the water-based White Ink to produce high quality, colour accurate package proofs on both clear and opaque substrates, and is also environmentally-friendly. When paired with Star Proof, the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 offers a true dot proofing solution for the Flexo, Gravure, Letterpress and Offset sectors, with features and controls unavailable in other inkjet proofing solutions. The Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 was designed specifically for contract- quality proofs and mock-ups for various flexographic and gravure printing products such as packaging. The Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 incorporates Epsons latest achievements in high-resolution ink jet technology - including their breakthrough Epson UltraChrome HDR White Ink and hence is the perfect solution for printing directly onto inkjet coated clear and metallic films (Epson ClearProof and Epson MetallicProof) Capable of printing directly on both ink jet coated clear and metallic films, in roll or cut sheet, up to 24 inches wide, the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 can proof virtually any size print job thrown at it. Whether you're creating contract proofs of various packaging products requiring a clear or metallic base, or producing colour accurate packaging mock-ups or prototypes, the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 can easily proof your most difficult flexographic and gravure print jobs. Quicklink: www.pomeroy.co.uk/wt7900
Printing Process Simulation Proofing System

Star Proof is a revolution in proofing technology, giving you the ability to deliver contract quality screened proofs with RIP Once technology to guarantee data integrity. The ability to deliver an accurate proof, particularly for challenging printing processes such as Gravure, Flexo or Letterpress, is a daunting task. Existing proofing solutions are either expensive, complicated to use, produce unrealistic proofs or a combination of the above. One bright alternative is Star Proof, an innovative dot proofing solution which has the ability to produce between 65-200 lpi screen, high quality proofs on inkjet printers Unique to Star Proof is it's ability to drive the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 whilst showing Dot Lost, Extreme Dot Gain and providing opacity controls for Process and Spot colours to simulate ink sequence on the press. Star Proof also takes advantage of the wide colour gamut afforded by the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 via a Multi Colour Shade system which automates Spot colour calibration, allowing hard, sharp dot proofs to be produced which accurately simulate press conditions.

Today, packaging with sophisticated printing is mainly produced flexographically the principle industrial printing process worldwide. Flexographic printing can be used for a range of materials, requires only short print preparation times, is low-cost, and produces very good quality print. The process uses flexible photopolymer plates with a backing layer, a light- sensitive relief layer, and a protective film coating. After a finishing process, the plates are mounted on a sleeve or print cylinder using a double sided plate mounting tape. tesas Softprint range of plate mounting tapes has been tailored precisely to meet the different printing process requirements. For example, fine dots require a harder printing plate, which, in turn, demands a softer, lower density foam tape.

Capatch (safeguard quality):

Capatch is a disposable liquid volume tester that you attach to your anilox roll. You then force the contained liquid across the Capatch using a doctor blade. Depending on the wear/pollution of your anilox roll, liquid fills the cells of the anilox roll. The length of the liquid track determines the wear/pollution of your anilox roll. Stop production losses: In the printing industry, regularly testing the volume of your anilox roll is crucial to prevent production losses. Wear, doctoring, improper cleaning or a manufacturers fault can cause an incorrect cell volume. Do not assume that your anilox roll has the correct volume. Use Capatch to: Test the volume of your anilox roll. Reduce production stops to five minutes or even less. Prevent waste production. Save a considerable amount of money with only a small investment. Test the volume of your anilox roll during reclaiming or commissioning.
