Correct Touch Graphic Arts (CTGA) has announced its customer Mesa Label Express, a label converter in Poway, CA, USA, is benefitting from a recent purchase of an Esko CDI 2530. The Esko CDI 2530 is ideal for the tag and label market, folding carton and small volume flexo plate producers in general. It images digital flexo plates up to 25″ x 30″ and comes with an incorporated plate loading table similar to CDI Spark 4835 and a EasyClamp II drum for easier and faster plate loading.
“The improved print quality of Asahi digital over analog plates was the primary motivating factor in our decision to purchase digital plate making equipment from CTGA," says Greg Dum, production manager at Mesa Label Express. "The side by side comparison of a job run on analog plates versus a job run on digital plates was astounding. I was kind of hoping that the difference wouldn’t be noticeable that way I could save myself some money and remain with analog, but there was no comparison and we had to make the move. The print quality we can achieve with our new Esko CDI 2530, in combination with the Asahi DSF digital plate, is far superior to our previous analog plates."
Mesa Label Expressed has used Asahi plates from CTGA for many years now. "Being able to move to the same Asahi plate material for digital allowed us to keep our plate costs the same while upgrading to digital plates," Dum adds. "The CTGA and Esko teams have been phenomenal throughout the process. Rick and Amber have been working with us every step of the way. Things don’t always go right and when they don’t you find out really quick who is on your team. Both CTGA and Esko stepped up to the plate and have ensured that we are 100% satisfied with the hardware, software, and service.”
