The XPS Crystal 5080 is for flexo plates of up to 50” x 80” (1270 x 2032 mm) or smaller.
You’re looking to achieve and maintain optimal print quality, so plate consistency is vital. A main factor influencing plate stability is the plate’s UV exposure.
The innovative XPS Crystal optimally combines UV main and back exposure. Unlike UV frames using light bulbs fluctuating in output, it uses UV LEDs which don’t need warm-up time and always emit consistent radiation.
A synchronized and optimally controlled UV main and back exposure gives you highly consistent digital flexo plates – for every digital flexo plate type.
Get previously unattained, repeatable, consistent plate quality – day after day.
Esko XPS Crystal is GreenCircle Certified
- 41% energy savings for a tradeshop with an average plate consumption of 13 plates per 8 hour shift compared to UV bank light exposure.
- 59% energy savings for a converter with an average plate consumption of 6 plates per shift compared to a UV bank light frame exposure.
- Using UV LEDs, the XPS Crystal has 92% waste reduction of light elements over the total device lifetime. This dematerialization analysis is based on an assessment of 100% mercury-free UV LEDs compared to mercury containing UV Lamps used in UV bank light frames.
