21/09/2016: CRON-ECRM Releases Model H and Emerald Plate at Graph Expo
CRON-ECRM to exhibit affordable and eco-friendly CTP product solutions with tailored speed and high level of automation specific to for commercial, web, and newspaper printing operations.
TEWKSBURY, Massachusetts – September 15, 2016 – In pursuit of additional costeffectiveness,
efficiency and ease of operation through creative technology applications, CRON-ECRM proud to present the 2017 model of platesetters and eco-friendly
plates.
"Our future technologies have been inspired by our customers' need for a 100% stable
and reliable relationship between plate characteristics, CTP imaging, and plate
processing," says Rick Black, President and CEO of CRON-ECRM. "This stable
relationship ensures the most efficient and economic production operation."
New - Automated CTP
The three-in-one CTP solutions will be previewed by CRON-ECRM at Graph Expo
(booth #1201). The new solution combines plate cassette input with precision imaging,
punching and transport, while providing a low cost, easy-to-use and compact unit which
is easy to maintain.
The exposure engine is based on CRON’s market-leading magnetic linear drive
platform which provides fault-free imaging across a wide choice of resolutions, with
registration accuracy up to 0.01mm and a tonal range 1%-99%, in either conventional or
stochastic screening.
The three-in-one solution (26”/ 660mm format) will be commercially available in the 4th
quarter of 2016, with larger formats up to 46”/ 1168mm scheduled for release in 2017.
The existing range of CTP engines will be sold in parallel, offering printers the choice to
go for a three-in-one or modular solution.
New – Emerald-UV Low Chemistry Plate
A new plate has joined CRON-ECRM’s UV plate portfolio. Sold under the Blackwood
brand, it not only streamlines the production process but also reduces costs and
enables a higher level of environmental responsibility. The plate is manufactured under
license by CRON’s Blackwood plant which, since opening in 2014, has made
substantial inroads into the world market through high quality products, including UV
and Double Coated UV Ink resistant plates, at very affordable prices.
The new Blackwood Emerald UV plate is unique. It minimizes the consumption of
chemicals and water for UV exposed plates. With a simple ‘wash out’ bath, plates are
press ready in seconds and exhibit exacting dot reproduction from 1-98% for either
stochastic screening (20 micron) or conventional screening up to 200 dpi. Run length is
consistent up to 50,000 impressions without baking (20,000 for UV ink).
The developing solution of the ‘wash out’ bath is non-toxic and non-corrosive. The plate
is currently available through several select dealers.
Come and see us running live during Graph Expo at booth #1201 with RMGT and their new Ryobi offset printing press.
