German packaging prepress house Flexicon has established a subsidiary in the USA. Flexicon Corp, based in Florence, Kentucky, will offer a complete portfolio from artwork through to the finished flexo plate.
CEO Gabriele Kison comments: "By setting up operations on location, we can provide our American partners with flexo plates of German quality even quicker". Technical ceo Gerrit Sander adds: "The technology will be the finest the world can offer prepress package printing".
As in the German headquarters, utmost importance will be placed on a completely digitalized workflow. Reproduction will take place on Esko workstations with PackEdge 4.0. Contract colour proofs will be produced in a digital inkjet process on the latest DuPont Digital Cromalin Generation B2. The installation of Esko Kaleidoskop 3.0 with integrated ICC profiles "will ensure perfect colour management between all devices".
The latest Cyrel Digital Imager Advance APL from Esko Graphics has been installed in Kentucky for flexo plate production. With a capacity of 4m2/hour, it is said to be one of the fastest and most efficient direct laser imagers for flexo plates on the market. On-line connection to Flexicon's global management information system, ProGate, shortens reaction times and increases flexibility.
According to Gabriele Kison: "Our workflow is so standardized that we can achieve the same quality anywhere in the world from the same data".
