SAINT LOUIS, MO - I love a story about a lasting relationship, so it may come as no surprise that I can’t get enough details on industry partnerships that keep the magic alive. Mark Andy Print Products and DuPont Advanced Printing will be joining forces again at Stand 749 at LabelExpo Americas 2018. The companies co-sponsored the booth, and the event marks the occasion of their first industry-wide event since Mark Andy Print Products was named the exclusive distributor of DuPont™ Cyrel® flexographic platemaking systems in the U.S.

“At LabelExpo 2018, we are showcasing the comprehensive solution that DuPont offers to the label market. These offerings include DuPont Cyrel EASY plates and DuPont Cyrel FAST 2000 TD, which highlights an efficient workflow using the newest thermal processing technology. We will also be showcasing products from DuPont Tyvek®,” Shyamal Desai, Americas Marketing Manager for DuPont Advanced Printing, shared.

If you’re looking for ways to enhance your entire workflow—including pre-press, on-press, and post-press—then have I got news for you. Attendees visiting the two companies at Stand 749 will see advanced platemaking and processing equipment and best-in-class plate mounting. They will also be able to chat with technical experts and learn about the Mark Andy Print Products supply offerings for flexo, digital hybrid, and offset printing equipment. According to a press release, efficiency in pressrooms is the starting point for profitability, and the companies pride themselves on a thorough understanding of efficiency by partnering with industry leaders to offer customers top-of-the-line supplies.

“Equipment that we are showcasing at LabelExpo is available through Mark Andy Print Products and is supported by the most experienced technical supply experts in the industry. Learn about bringing your platemaking in-house and control the quality, deadlines, and cost. Myself and my team are excited to connect with converters at LabelExpo to find the platemaking and supply solutions that are right for their businesses,” Tom Alba, VP of Mark Andy Print Products, explained.

Some of the items that the companies will showcase include Mark Andy VPM400 Video Plate Mounter, DuPont Cyrel FAST 2000 TD thermal processor, and Esko’s CDI Crystal 4835 XPS system.

A standalone unit, the VPM400 offers an adjustable table, plate cylinder mounting rails, and laser pointers, providing fast and accurate plate mounting to benefit workflow efficiency. Live on-demand demos will be available during the show, supporting live label production at Stand 319. If you are wanting to become more educated on the plate mounting best practices and high-quality print, stick around for demonstrations of pairing DuPont Cyrel plates and tesa mounting tape.

Participants at the expo will get to see the FAST 2000 TD, a thermal solvent-free flexographic plate processor, to check out how it’s environmentally friendly because it has no solvents to handle, store, or recycle and has no drying time. The end result are high-quality press-ready plates in under an hour.

The newest Esko CDI Crystal 4835 XPS will be at the show for attendees to see the combination of flexo plate imaging and exposure to see the streamlined approach to platemaking that simplifies the traditionally five manual steps into one simple step. The goal with this process is to boost repeatable consistent plate quality and take away the uncertainty at plate quality control.
