A&V Introduces New ESKO Digital Imager

BRYAN, OH—March 1, 2012—The CDI Spark 2420, a new digital imager specifically designed for the tag and label market to simplify transition to a digital workflow, is now available exclusively from Anderson & Vreeland, Inc., leading manufacturer and distributor of flexographic plate processing equipment and materials.

Anderson & Vreeland collaborated with the narrow web industry and EskoArtwork to develop this entry-level digital imaging system that offers all the benefits of digital plates without the cost of unnecessary features.

The superior plate quality of the CDI Spark 2420 is exactly what is required to achieve outstanding results: fine highlights, excellent details, and superb coverage in shadows. The CDI Spark 2420 offers flexibility as it is designed to match entry-level production needs and expand capabilities as your business grows.

The CDI Spark 2420 images a full size 24" x 20"/609 x 508 mm plate of arbitrary thickness in 23 minutes. It images with variable resolutions from 2000 to 2540 ppi, and is capable of screen rulings up to 200 lpi, with halftone imaging from 1-99 percent.
