Esko unveiled its latest innovation at Labelexpo — the Esko XPS Spark 4835, a new plate exposure unit that delivers the combination of performance with a small footprint. The new XPS Spark combines single-side UV LED ex- posure with an optional integrated UV finishing device (UVA + UVC). The new Esko XPS Spark is reported to offer a range of features, including: • Homogeneous exposure — patented kaleidoscopic optics ensures that UVA light is evenly distributed across the entire plate surface, eliminating hotspots and shadows that are common with traditional bank exposure systems • Round Top in/out and Flat Top in/out — The XPS Spark uses single-side UVA LED exposure, supporting both Round Top and Flat Top dot plates. The achieved dot shape - fl¬at or round - is plate type dependent. • Optional UV Finisher — The optional integrated UV finishing drawer can be added to the XPS Spark to com- plete the plate exposure process in a single device. It uses UVA/C light to finalize the plate after LED exposure, elimi- nating the need for a separate finishing unit. • Air cooled system — The XPS Spark uses an air- cooled UVA LED exposure system, which eliminates the need for complex water-based cooling. This design sim- plifies installation and maintenance while keeping the sys- tem compact and cost-effective. • Open system — The XPS Spark features a fully open exposure parameter system. While the XPS Spark doesn’t include predefined plate parameters, it supports all fl¬exo plate vendors, who can provide optimized settings. Users can further fine-tune and adapt settings to meet specif- ic production needs, ensuring fl¬exibility and precision across any workflow. in other news, Esko has launched its latest packaging management solution, WebCenter Go, a new SaaS plat- form specifically designed to help growing brands stream- line the label review process, speed up product launch and boost efficiency. It features a flexible workflow builder with templates for packaging reviews and a rich proofing toolkit.

In other news, Reprotronics, a Dubai-based prepress and visual graphics provider, has invested in a fully auto- mated Esko CDI Crystal 4260 XPS flexo platemaking line. Part of the UAE-based Thomsun Group, Reprotronics first opened shop in 1993. The CDI Crystal 4260 XPS from Esko will help the company meet increasing demand for high-quality flexographic plates. The CDI Crystal 4260 XPS integrates plate imaging and exposure into a single workflow.
