Lscher launches narrow FlexPose!direct

Lscher Flexo is set to release a new FlexPose! model at next months LabelExpo in a bid to stamp a bigger mark on label platemaking.

FlexPose!direct 250L is a digital positive imagesetter with an ablation length of 600mm that can engrave flexo and letterpress plates and sleeves, as well as rotary screens.

The 140,000 machine, which is built by Lscher Flexo's UK division in Oxfordshire, will be one of two FlexPose! machines at the Brussels exhibition, which runs from 21 to 24 September.

The Swiss firm will also show its FlexPose! digital negative platesetter, which it claims is the only commercially available machine, which images flexo, offset and letter-press plates.

The government's UK Hydrographic Office recently bought three FlexPose! machines for navigation material and charts.
