Beyond UV Tube Banks: A Smarter Way to Expose Flexo Plates

About this event

UV tube exposure has been the standard in flexo plate rooms for over 50 years — but the technology is showing its age. Inconsistent output, frequent lamp replacements, rising maintenance costs, and looming mercury regulations are pushing operations to rethink their approach. 

Join Pascal Thomas, Director of Esko's Flexo Business, and Rory Marsoun, Director of Global Print Excellence at Esko, as they introduce the XPS Spark 4835, a completely new generation of single-sided, fully digital LED plate exposure technology built to replace legacy bank light systems with something fundamentally simpler, more consistent, and more sustainable. 

In this session, you'll discover: 

  • Why traditional UV tube exposure is no longer a viable long-term solution 
  • How Esko's patented kaleidoscope optics deliver perfect light uniformity across every plate, every time 
  • What mercury-free, drift-free LED exposure means for your day-to-day plate room operations 
  • How the XPS Spark fits into the broader Spark ecosystem, alongside CDI Spark and Flexo Front End, to standardize quality from file prep through exposure 
  • Real-world customer validation and what early adopters are experiencing on the shop floor 

Whether you're a label converter, tradeshop, or folding carton operation, this is a must-attend session for anyone looking to reduce variability, lower operating costs, and future-proof their plate making workflow. 

Want to see it in person? The XPS Spark 4835 will be live on the show floor at LOUPE Americas. Stop by Booth #720 to experience the technology firsthand and speak with our experts about how this fits your business. This webinar is your chance to get up to speed before the show so you can make the most of your time with us there.
