Discover the Esko CDI Quartz XPS

First introduced at drupa last year, the Esko CDI Quartz XPS has been hailed as the pinnacle of flexo platemaking. This exciting innovation is now available to printers and converters across India looking to achieve incredible new standards in flexographic print quality.

Visit Esko at the 12th Elite Plus Speciality Films & Flexible Packaging Global Business Summit & Exhibition, at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, India – 3-4 September 2025!

Alongside partners from DuPontTM India, Esko will be presenting its latest innovations that automate, connect and accelerate packaging production to maximize productivity and efficiency.

The team will also showcase how the new Esko Quartz ecosystem sets incredible new standards in flexographic print on par with gravure, delivering:

• Unsurpassed quality – with smoother ink coverage, better contrast and deeper shadows
• Solid ink density – increased by up to 0.7 to achieve new levels of depth
• Smoother solids – no pinholes or negative artefacts
• Eliminate dot-bridging – negative small elements stay open longer and dot-bridging in screens is eliminated, keeping fades and pictures cleaner
• Improved tonal range in print – higher ink laydown enables the usage of finer anilox rollers, and thus brilliant solids in combination with fine highlights and fades to zero
• Sustainability gains – reduce ink usage and compatibility with water-based inks make sustainability goals achievable
• Simplified, high quality plate production – enabling ECG printing and short run flexible packaging in UV Flexo for narrow-and-mid web printers
