The revolution in digital flexography technology is here!

Aladdin Label is a flexographic printer with a large variety of printed pieces that are often said to “push the printing envelope”.   Many of their pieces are placed inside with food, or on retail food packages as coupons, recipes, and other promotional pieces.  Most recently, Aladdin acquired an account with a major greeting card company to print foil, white stock, prismatic, and scratch-and-sniff stickers.  This prompted Aladdin to create an environmentally sound platemaking facility (dust-free, temperature, humidity, and static controlled).
The new system involved placing a Barco-Graphics platemaker and a Dupont Cyrel FAST dry plate processor into Aladdin’s “clean” room.  Aladdin has found it's print quality improved, which is a tremendous benefit for their customer's sales.  Aladdin is now able to print down to a 1% dot, whereas they could not go below a 4% dot with the old system. 99% of all flexo printers use the old system.
