file formats such as LEN-files can reportedly be seamlessly converted to 1-bit TIFF. ThermoFlexX can image all digital plates, any brand, solvent, water washable or thermal processing, and is compatible with all plate making equipment.

It can automatically load and unload plates with the touch of a button. A guidance system ensures that even thick plates, up to 0.25 inches, can be seamlessly mounted on the drum, all automatically. The FlexTray mo- bile table, which can be adjusted in height and tilted, facil- itates easy plate handling and transport. ThermoFlexX imagers can be integrated with any work- flow or RIP that can produce 1-bit TIFF file format. Closed
Productivity up to 6 square meters an hour can be achieved at the standard quality of 2540dpi. This can be doubled up to 12 square meters an hour, due to the Dual FlexoTechs’ ThermoFlexX machine is well suited for high-vol- ume flexo plate production. Its large size fits multiple jobs to- gether and with intuitive solutions it can handle large, thick or partial plates easily, reducing material waste.
