DoubleBlack Systems
NozzleBlack + LaserBlack
Double Black for film making = LaserBlack (since 2002) + NozzleBlack (since 2014)
LaserBlack is an Enhancing black density 3X method from a print from laser printer.
NozzleBlack is a direct image on flexographic plate from inkjet printer without film.
NozzleBlack CTP (Computer To flexographic Plate) is the only system direct image on a plate by inkjet printer in the world. Since 2014 20 + users over the global enjoying no film direct image on flexo plate as well as on a screen frame emulsion coated for no film / no vacuum. Can be exposed by an in line LED / UV on an inkjet printer for 100% successful job without failure, covenient with a very sharp image.
Due to print from a laser printer was a most clear / sharp image / with nice black density good for reproduction text / character in the past days. It is however, still not good opaque enough for plate exposure when print on a film or tracing paper by a laser printer. LaserBlack enhancer was the product for plate making purpose from an image print out by a laser printer at that time. Convenient / economic / easy to operate was the slogan….. after laser print then go through LaserBlack enhancer to get 3 times black density to expose a plate nicely. We have twenty thousands of users in the global market and keep on growing until now due to cheap and convenient.
In addition to CTP direct inkjet image on a flexographic / letterpress plate, we also equipped in line on the inkjet printer with back exposure UV lamps under the flat bed for non-turn over relief exposure to save labor and damage. This was the advantaged technology we used with our 40 year-experience of manufacturing flexographic plate making machine so as to the usage of a LED/ UV lamp in line to harden the printed image right after inkjet print at the same time. This is also most important for CTS (Computer To Screen) because of no film / no vacuum will benefit screen plate making from more sharp image / time saving / no vacuum failure for repeat making any more as well as a skillful engineer is not required any longer.
With invention patent in 40 countries and 20000 users over the world, consumers still always complain that the printer is too small for them, for there is very few laser printer size over A3, this was the inventive of why Team@flexo have to develop inkjet printer for film making: CTF + CTP + CTS these 3 C actually become an important motives of Flexo Technology in the past 5 years to make a change to create a really applicable film making technology for plate makings. At the time while everybody is keen on CTF Computer To Film making we believe that we have the obligation to develop more advanced technologies of CTP / CTS for no film / no vacuum plate makings by inkjet printer for big size / good enough density negative film making which is a far cheaper method than to use an very expensive laser ablation device.
And fortunately, we have made it possible. (190505)
