What do YOU want from flexography?
We think you want the convenience and
flexibility of flexo printing, but you also
demand printed packaging that “pops”;
labels and cartons that truly capture the
attention of your target audience. We
think you want MORE from flexo.
With the Kodak Flexcel NX Digital
Flexographic System, printers can take
flexographic printing to a new level.
The system uses innovative technology
to produce digital flexo plates with
previously unmatched capabilities.
Do
more
with
flexo
In the simplest terms, it is now possible
to print with flexo and match the quality
of offset and gravure. Excellent ink
transfer combined with outstanding
highlight performance results in:
• Photo-realistic image reproduction
• Expanded tonal range
• Print that truly jumps off the package.
In fact, print produced with Kodak
Flexcel NX Plates really doesn’t look like
flexo any more!
Higher resolution
The Flexcel NX System’s high resolution
capabilities, exceptional predictability
and on-press consistency mean that
higher screen rulings can be used in daily
production. Flexcel NX System users are
printing labels up to 300 lpi, and making
regular use of FM screening to enhance
gamut and visual impact. Stochastic
screening has long been possible with
offset. Now it is a reality for flexo. Just
make sure you remember to supply
higher-res images if you want your
printer to take advantage of these
capabilities.
Pushing the
boundaries
With higher resolution and a predictable,
consistent printing process, the sky’s the
limit for where you can now take flexo:
• Outstanding print quality on
uncoated label stocks
• Shrink sleeves that look like they have
been printed with roto-gravure
• High value folding cartons with added
value features at an affordable price.
The possibilities are endless—and
include lenticular printing with flexo.
Stop them in the aisles
with lenticular
Lenticular print involves specially
prepared ‘interlaced’ graphics printed on,
and viewed though, a lenticular lens to
produce different images depending on
the viewing angle. Moving images are a
great way to attract attention. Until now,
this process has only been possible with
offset printing.

The Flexcel NX System has now made
flexographic lenticular printing possible
for the first time. Imagine the potential
for lenticular packaging applications,
now that labels can be printed roll to roll.
Checklist
Affordable product security
Have you struggled with
flexo’s print consistency
in the past?
Printing with higher resolution brings
additional benefits. You could consider
adding micro text down to 0.5 pt, or
micro elements, into your designs.
The micro text can be incorporated
into one of your standard plates, often
black, and would be visible by the end
user only under magnification. This is a
cost-effective way to authenticate your
printed packaging, made possible for
flexography by the Kodak Flexcel NX
Digital Flexographic System.
The Flexcel NX System is giving print
buyers and printers more confidence
and more capabilities with flexo printing.
Every day, users of Flexcel NX Plates find
new ways to “Do More with Flexo!”i
