The Belgian firm will show new Kongsberg XP digital cutting machines for short-run production. The range handles corrugated board, plastic, foam and rigid display materials, and has a maximum cutting speed of 100 metres per minute. The machines, in three sizes from 1,680×3,200mm to 2,200×4,800mm, feature automatic tool levelling, automatic registration, multiple vacuum zones and a new operator workstation. Also new on the equipment front are two Cyrel Digital Imagers (CDI). The CDI Advance Cantilever, designed for the imaging of large-format sleeves, comes with a cantilever air cylinder, which The CDI Spark 4260 Auto is primarily for the flexible packaging and folding carton markets. It can process three full-size digital flexo plates at once and takes 12 minutes to image a 1,067×1,542mm plate of any thickness. New software products include the Dynamic Content plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, which enables users to create a text link in an Illustrator file directly to an XML file created by the brand owner. A single, XML-based text file can then be shared across a number of designs, or multiple text sources, such as different language versions, linked to a single design. EskoArtwork will be on stand A23 in Hall 8b of the Messe Düsseldorf. Speak Your Mind |
