DuPont Introduces Cyrel DLC Plate For Corrugated Printing DuPont Advanced Printing has announced the com- mercial availability of the newest addition to the award-winning DuPont Cyrel plate platform, the Du- Pont Cyrel DLC. Cyrel DLC is a soft digital plate that uses a new polymer formulation developed especially for the corrugated market. Its low durometer is reportedly designed for better printing on lower quality recy- cled and thinner liner corrugated board using wa- ter-based inks. Delivering the ink from the plate to the substrate in a way that provides excellent solid ink coverage, while not crushing the board with over-impression, has been a challenge, but is now achievable with the Cyrel DLC plate, according to the company. Edge crush test (ECT values) are reportedly kept virtually unchanged after printing.
