Miller Graphics installs ThermoFlexX 80
The recent advancements in digital flexo plate production made by Belgian manufacturer ThermoFlexX are attracting interest around the world.
Miller Graphics, a leading European supplier of pre-press services to the flexo market, has invested around one million Euros in the new plant, which offers design, artwork, repro and platemaking services.
– Algeria is a fast growing market, says Hubert Sampré, Miller Graphics managing director in France and Maghreb.
– There are several major food producers in the Bejaia area and because of this there are also some very important packaging printers. Bejaia, between Algiers and Annaba, was an obvious site for our new factory. It’s still early days, but our rapidly increasing order book has already proved that there is a huge need for high-quality pre-press services, delivered quickly and at a competitive price.
The ThermoFlexX 80-S, with its 1,270 x 2,032 mm output capacity and 5,080 dpi exposure resolution, is capable of meeting all of our customers’ plate size and quality requirements. In addition, we can expose whatever flexo plate a printer is used to working with and in thicknesses up to 6.35 mm.
The extensive research and development work carried out by ThermoFlexX during the last two years has focused on pushing forward the boundaries of productivity, quality and effectiveness in the field of flexo plate production. This has resulted in a string of industry-leading features being incorporated into the ThermoFlexX imager series, including the world’s highest exposure resolution and fastest exposure speed.
