Esko announced that its XPS Crystal flexo plate Exposure Unit has received the 2018 European Flexographic Industry Association (EFIA) Gold Award for Technical Innovation. The EFIA Awards were held at The Vox Centre in Birmingham, UK.
 
Esko’s XPS Crystal technology continues to receive global recognition from the industry. Esko won several awards in 2017 including the PIA InterTech Technology Award in Ohio, the FTA Award for Technical Innovation in Phoenix, AZ and the 2017 Red Dot Award for Product Design presented by Design Zentrum, Nordheim Westfaln, Germany.
 
The XPS Crystal is a digitally controlled LED UV exposure unit providing near concurrent back and main exposure to deliver unmatched relief and image consistency with perfectly formed flat top dots. Integrated with Esko’s CDI Imager it becomes an automated system and simplifies flexo platemaking.
 
“We awarded the coveted Supplier of the Year Award for Technical Innovation to Esko as the XPS Crystal Exposure Unit brings huge advantages to the flexo printing community,” said EFIA CEO Debbie Waldron-Hoines.
