Esko invites you to their event

Stay Thermal. Gain Quartz: Unlocking the Quartz Ecosystem for FAST

About this event

Thermal platemaking just got a major upgrade. Join Esko and DuPont for a joint webinar unveiling how Quartz, Esko's next-generation imaging technology, now extends to DuPont Cyrel® FAST plates, opening up a new level of quality, consistency, and sustainability for thermal flexo. 

For years, thermal platemaking has offered speed, sustainability, and simplicity, but some printers held back, believing it couldn't match solvent-plate quality. That's changing. With Quartz TQ, the same Q-Cell imaging technology that has transformed solvent and Cyrel EFXR plates is now available on Cyrel FAST TD processors, delivering predictable, repeatable color from the first impression, with no on-press tuning required. 

In this session, Pascal Thomas, Director of Flexo Business at Esko, and Brad Gasque, Technical Marketing Leader at DuPont, will explore: 

  • Better Together — how the long-standing Esko/DuPont partnership has driven every major milestone in flexo platemaking, from the original CDI to Cyrel FAST TD and beyond 
  • Quartz Technology — what makes Quartz different, including switchable optics, Q-Cells, and best-in-class imaging precision 
  • Quartz Thermal Screens — how Quartz TQ brings Q-cell quality to thermal plates on Cyrel FAST TD 
  • What's Next — the newly certified DuPont Cyrel EFXR Quartz Quality Certification and the evolution of CenterDot 

Whether you're already running thermal plates or evaluating whether Next Gen Cyrel FAST is right for your operation, this webinar will show how you can stay thermal, with all its speed, efficiency, and sustainability benefits, while gaining the quality and consistency of Quartz.
