EskoArtwork, the global supplier and integrator of innovative solutions for the packaging value chain, strengthens its partnership with Essel Propack with an agreement for CTP implementation across a number of EPL sites in various locations.

Consistency and Standardisation across the various EPL locations around the world are the driving factors for this partnership. EPL has chosen EskoArtwork’s CDI High-Definition imaging for Flexo, Letterpress and Dry Offset with the unique In-line UV (main exposure) to boost quality and enhance productivity.

EPL plans to initially optimise their productivity on their Letterpress and Dry Offset presses for Lamitubes and co-extruded tubes and later extend the optimization to their Flexo and Screen combination press. The fully loaded EskoArtwork CDI Spark 2530, connecting the existing EskoArtwork Suite 10 workflow, will be installed at the EPL plant near Mumbai, India.

AMESA & EAP Region of EPL president Ramasamy said that one of the key factors in EPL’s success and market share has been strong partnerships.

“With the adoption of the EskoArtwork CDI across EPL in phases, we expect to raise the quality bar, meeting today’s challenging packaging demands and consistently delivering high quality tubes,” Ramasamy added.

EskoArtwork senior product manager Digital Flexo Jan Buchweitz said that so far more than 1600 CDIs have been delivered to their customers and have been continuously enhanced.

“EskoArtwork again defines the quality level in digital plate making in combination with an outstanding ease of use,” Buchweitz added.
