CRON’s ground-breaking HDI prepress solutions are designed to support the needs of today’s packaging converters, delivering superior quality output and maximum efficiency for a wide range of flexible packaging and label applications. Until now, prepress solutions for the Flexo and Letterpress markets have been costly and expensive to maintain. As a result, many label and packaging converters and printers were forced to outsource their pre-press requirements.
CRON’s competitively priced HDI solutions are a game changer. Now plate production can be brought in-house, significantly reducing plate costs and drastically lowering lead times. Available in three different models, CRON HDI products benefit from more than 25 years of technological development and come as a complete package, with integrated ablation dust filter system and an open TIFF interface that accepts files from all leading design and workflow systems.
The new HDI Flexo H+ series models feature high power lasers that deliver almost double the production speed of previous models, and can achieve resolutions up to 9600 dpi. This makes CRON H+ models ideal for fine labelling and packaging work.
All model formats in the CRON HDI Flexo range come with market-leading precise laser technology, yielding standard resolutions of 5080 dpi. Producing incredibly smooth gradations and superbly round dots whatever the output speed, the CRON HDI Flexo range brings digital image control to Flexo and Letterpress plate imaging.
