Anderson & Vreeland Introduces AVxpose, Orbital XP Anderson and Vreeland premiered two revamped platemak- ing systems at Loupe Americas 2026 alongside the Xsys Lava Thermal Processor, educating attendees on advances in UV LED exposure technology and its impact on flexog- raphic photopolymer plates and platemaking workflows. The AVxpose UV LED exposure unit features high-in- tensity UV LED technology designed to deliver flat top dots through oxygen-inhibiting exposure at a precise wavelength, without requiring additional platemaking consumables or processes such as lamination. The unit includes dual post-exposure and detac combo drawer, an airflow cooling system, LED touchscreen controls and PLC interface, with an optional vacuum bed. The LED technol- ogy requires no warm-up time and maintains a stable tem- perature profile throughout operation. The company has also revamped its all-in-one Orbital XP water wash processor with LED technology, with both the AVxpose and the updated Orbital XP making their Loupe Americas premiere. The Xsys Lava Thermal Proces- sor, new to the XSYS and Anderson and Vreeland portfo- lio, will also be on show. Anderson and Vreeland noted that the industry shift to- ward high-intensity UV LED exposure systems operating above 50 mW/cm² has accelerated over the past three to
five years, with high-intensity systems increasingly pre- ferred for high-end screen work over lower-intensity op- tions designed as fluorescent bulb replacements. New polymers are also being developed specifically for UV LED curing, resulting in materials marketed as UV LED optimized.
