FLEXCEL Prime Plates
FLEXCEL Prime Plates and Film deliver new levels of on‑press efficiency and faster platemaking—while preserving the industry‑leading performance you expect from FLEXCEL NX Plates.
Their unmatched capability comes from the combination of two new advancements—Lift Resist Formulation and Stay Clean Properties—working together with our proven True Flat Top Dots and broad Multi-Form Surface Patterning.
The FLEXCEL Prime Film leverages our unique imaging technology and lamination process to deliver high‑resolution plate imaging with exceptional consistency and true 1:1 dot replication.
At the core of FLEXCEL NX Technology, our multi‑form patterning enables you to tailor plate production for different applications—ensuring optimized, predictable ink flow and highly controlled ink transfer across every job.
What are the new benefits of the FLEXCEL Prime Plates?
On-press enhancements include:
Lift Resist Formula
FLEXCEL Prime plates have been formulated to give better drape, making mounting smoother and storage simpler. No more curling or hardening—just consistent performance and better compatibility with softer tapes.
Stay Clean Technology
Say goodbye to ink buildup and press slowdowns. The FLEXCEL Prime plate is formulated to resist ink buildup and drying, meaning fewer press stops and easier post-run cleaning—reducing damage and improving plate reuse.
Platemaking enhancements include:
- Reduced platemaking time thanks to easy delamination and a detack time of 5 minutes
- Optimized for Shine LED lamps, resulting in lower exposure times, more consistent exposure and less frequent bulb changes.
How easy is it to switch from FLEXCEL NXH to FLEXCEL Prime plates?
Upgrading to FLEXCEL Prime is very easy! All FLEXCEL NX Imaging systems are compatible with FLEXCEL Prime. The process starts with a simple, easy set up on your current FLEXCEL NX System.The plates have been specifically designed to be fully interchangeable with FLEXCEL NXH plates thanks to Seamless Fit Printing, meaning you can run mixed plate sets and no reprofiling is necessary.
