XSYS will showcase a full range of solutions including a number of launches at drupa
Supplier of flexographic and letterpress pre-press solutions, XSYS will launch three new solutions and show its full range of products at drupa 2024.
XSYS will exclusively launch the nyloflex eco series, Catena ProServX, and new prepress software solutions in line with its drive towards “a greener future for print and packaging”.
Being unveiled at drupa, the nyloflex eco series is said to mark a “groundbreaking milestone” in flexo plate manufacturing due to it reducing environmental impact.
The recently launched nyloflex FTV plate will also be shown. This is an LED-optimised, inherent flat-top dot plate engineered specifically for the high-quality flexible packaging market.
XSYS’ nyloprint WS Pro plate enhances letterpress printing and contributes to waste reduction in tube and can production. The company will also showcase its nyloprint WF Sharp water-washable film-based letterpress plate for high-end label market.
For automated plate processing, XSYS will show its award-winning ThermoFlexX Catena+ with live demonstrations taking place several times a day on the booth.
Removing human intervention from the process, Catena+ recently won the 2024 Award for Innovation and Excellence in Prepress by the FPPA.
The nyloflex Xpress Thermal System also reduces carbon footprint and offers near elimination of VOCs compared to solvent plate processing.
In terms of software, XSYS will be announcing new components for its pre-press equipment modules for higher levels of digitalisation.
Catena ProServX is a cloud-based, real-time equipment monitoring tool for maintenance and quality control. Additional software upgrades have been teased for the show.
XSYS also offers precision-engineered rotec sleeves and adapters and the rotec team will be introducing new sleeves at drupa.
Thomas Strohe, director of Commercial Excellence at XSYS: “We Create The Future – the tagline of drupa 2024 – resonates deeply with the mission of XSYS, which is to introduce products and services that enable our customers to ‘Print Solid and Stay Flexible.
“The only way to achieve this goal is through continued, sustainable development, bringing to market innovative solutions that minimise the impact on the environment, while maximising printing quality and efficiency. XSYS is deeply committed to sustainability, and we invite you to our booth to explore, experience, and acquire our innovative products.”
