YRG invest

UK-based packaging design and reprographics business, York Reprographic Group (YRG), has taken delivery of the latest CDI Crystal 5080 XPS technology for digital imaging and exposure of plates from Esko. Complemented by investment in a new X22 Kongsberg table for digital plate cutting, the installation performed in December is a first for Esko in the UK.

Mark Gration, Managing Director of YRG, said, “We pride ourselves in being early adopters of new technology for the print industry. With quality, consistency and speed to market being critical for our customers, investing in the latest digital flexo solutions to drive press efficiency and print performance is key to maintaining our market position.

“The investment adds capacity to our business, complementing our existing four cutting tables, along with our 10 CDI imaging devices, to meet the needs of our growth strategy. While driving efficiency, this technology also significantly enhances our customers’ print quality and consistency and we believe it to be a major development for the flexographic printing industry.”

As a leading reprographics company, the company has disclosed its intention to roll out the use of the Esko Crystal solution throughout the entire group.

Gration concludes, “Our new technology provides perfect solutions to the big flexographic demands: very fine and subtle highlights, smooth vignette transitions without rivering, highly effective microcells giving smooth laydowns and controlled increased densities. Above all, our new Crystal equipment ensures that these invaluable features are absolutely consistent from plate to plate.”
