Moscow trade shop Optimasmart has invested in DuPont's new Cyrel DigiFlow 1000 ECLF exposure and light finisher.
"We identified the flat top dot as a key industry trend early on," says Pavel Belyaev, Optimasmart's general director. "Once we took all the relevant factors into consideration, including, quality, cost and productivity, it was clear that Cyrel DigiFlow demonstrated the optimum balance of properties for our business. The new unit was installed within a day so we were quickly back up and running."
The DigiFlow is a "relatively simple and inexpensive" modification to DuPont's existing exposure units. It adds a chamber that creates a controlled atmosphere during the main exposure, allowing one-to-one reproduction of image elements on the plate. This is critical to optimising the effects of solid screening patterns.
Designed for use on an 'as-needed' basis, the exposure units can be switched off when the standard digital dot is the preferred result.
"This is our fifth Cyrel DigiFlow installation in Russia to date, and the equipment continues to gain in popularity because it is easy to install and use with exceptional results," says DuPont technical sales representative Alexander Kosachev.
