Nägele Digital Repro has successfully completed the Miraclon Certification Program for FLEXCEL NX Plates, which has been designed to evaluate KODAK FLEXCEL System users’ ability to meet international standards in flexographic platemaking. It represents a feature set that drives industry-leading efficiency, repeatability, and consistent quality flexo plate production. The certification process is also supported with comprehensive data measurement and analysis.

The Kempten, Germany-based packaging prepress and platemaking service provider has been a FLEXCEL NX System user since 2010 and added the FLEXCEL NX Ultra Solution last year. The company has now achieved recertification for FLEXCEL NX Plates and also completed the new certification for FLEXCEL NX Ultra Plates, which are prepared with a solvent- and VOC-free process.

“It is extremely important to us to comply with industry standards in flexo platemaking – we’re also pushing to exceed them where possible. That’s why we consider the Miraclon Certification Program to be a very helpful tool,” says Michael Nägele, Managing Director. “The Certification Program is a great opportunity to review our processes to see if they consistently meet the stringent production standards set by Miraclon – and to make adjustments where necessary. Successful completion of the certification process also gives us and our customers certainty that we are preparing the plates from Miraclon in compliance with international standards while delivering them in consistently top quality.”
