DuPont Advanced Printing (DuPont) has launched the DuPont Cyrel FAST 2000TD system, which provides outstanding quality and productivity in a mid-size format for flexible packaging and tag and label applications. The new technology is being featured at the upcoming drupa. “DuPont leveraged its extensive knowledge of thermal processing in developing this next-generation system,” said Jan Scharfenberg, technical manager, DuPont Advanced Printing. “In terms of plate quality and machine performance, this is truly a change for the industry and we look forward to implementing the technology with our customers.”
The Cyrel FAST 2000TD features several cutting-edge tools and technologies that contribute to higher plate quality, easier workflow, and improved machine serviceability. FAST 2000TD is the next-generation technology to DuPont’s existing FAST processor
portfolio. The 2000TD processor works with DuPont FAST thermal workflow – an innovative, highly productive plate processing technology that uses solvent-free thermal processing to produce a press-ready finished plate in one hour or less. Compared to traditional plate processing solutions that require the use of solvents and require long plate drying times, FAST technology is not only solvent-free, but also dramatically improves productivity because it eliminates the drying steps.
During drupa, print samples, demonstrations, tours and featured speakers will reveal how DuPont works across the package printing industry value chain to address technology needs and help customers achieve desired results consistent with their brand-building initiatives. Additional technologies featured at the show will include DuPontCyrel EASY flexographic printing plates; DuPont Artistri digital inks; DuPont Tyvek packaging technology; and DuPont Izon anti-counterfeit technology.
