Esko unveiled its latest innovation at Labelexpo — the Esko XPS Spark 4835, a new plate exposure unit that delivers the combination of performance with a small footprint.
The new XPS Spark combines single-side UV LED exposure with an optional integrated UV finishing device (UVA + UVC).
The new Esko XPS Spark is reported to offer a range of features, including:
• Homogeneous exposure — patented kaleidoscopic optics ensures that UVA light is evenly distributed across the entire plate surface, eliminating hotspots and shadows that are common with traditional bank exposure systems
• Round Top in/out and Flat Top in/out — The XPS Spark uses single-side UVA LED exposure, supporting both Round Top and Flat Top dot plates. The achieved dot shape – fl¬at or round – is plate type dependent.
• Optional UV Finisher — The optional integrated UV finishing drawer can be added to the XPS Spark to complete the plate exposure process in a single device. It uses UVA/C light to finalize the plate after LED exposure, eliminating the need for a separate finishing unit.
• Air cooled system — The XPS Spark uses an air-cooled UVA LED exposure system, which eliminates the need for complex water-based cooling. This design simplifies installation and maintenance while keeping the system compact and cost-effective.
• Open system — The XPS Spark features a fully open exposure parameter system. While the XPS Spark doesn’t include predefined plate parameters, it supports all fl¬exo plate vendors, who can provide optimized settings. Users can further fine-tune and adapt settings to meet specific production needs, ensuring fl¬exibility and precision across any workflow.
