Dantex is set to launch Aqua X, the company’s most advanced flexographic plate processing solution to date at Labelexpo Europe. Making its debut on stand 5E73, the Aqua X brings new levels of speed, efficiency and sustainability to water wash plate technology. The unveiling comes as the company also reintroduces the popular PicoColour digital press – now improved to deliver even greater accessibility and performance for label converters.

The Aqua X represents the next generation of the Aquaflex processing range. Specifically designed to work with the company’s advanced Aquaflex plate technology, the new system is a fully automatic, high speed, water wash solution. Offering reliability, efficiency and productivity, the Aqua X establishes new benchmarks in solvent free flexographic processing. Key features include a Dantex Easy Access System, cloud based online connectivity, integrated black mask removal and extremely low water and energy consumption. With a fully adjustable throughput speed, the Aqua X delivers consistent plate processing with outstanding print quality, including fine halftone resolution from 1% to 99% up to 200 lpi.

Alongside the Aqua X, Dantex will also showcase its newly relaunched PicoColour press. Compact, versatile and affordable, the PicoColour provides high quality digital output within a small footprint, making it an ideal solution for printers seeking flexibility without compromise. Also on show will be the high performance PicoJet DRS, with live demonstrations highlighting impressive speed, precision and reliability in digital UV inkjet printing.

Ben Danon, CEO, said: ‘The launch of the Aqua X marks a major step forward in sustainable flexographic plate processing, bringing real benefits to productivity, reliability and print quality. Together with the PicoColour, we are offering customers both groundbreaking pre-press and digital press technologies that meet today’s demands for efficiency, performance and cost effectiveness.’

Visitors to the stand will also have the opportunity to discover Dantex’s comprehensive range of pre-press and consumables, including sleeves and imaging equipment. Representatives from across the group and its global distributor network will be on hand to provide demonstrations, technical advice and support.
