Uflex’s P K Agarwal said, “We have been looking at the DLE technology for a couple of years now and for all our wide web customers in-house as well as overseas, the need to have solvent free plates and sleeves has become essential.”
 
The machine, which can handle elastomer plates and sleeves, was supplied by Lead Lasers’ Indian representative Vinsak.
 
“After careful evaluation of all manufacturers, we found that the hybrid technology being offered by Lead Lasers was ideal for us and for the Indian market,” added Agarwal.
 
Arthur from Lead Laser said, “We continue to develop the DLE technology with a strong focus on the flexo market and believe very strongly that in the coming years elastomers as plates and sleeves will offer the pre-press that flexo needs to get out of the dependence on Photosensitive materials which are neither eco-friendly nor easy to make or use.”
 
Vinsak’s Ranesh Bajaj, said, “Uflex has always been our key account in India and their appreciation of technology makes our work so much easier. This DLE installation is the first in India and perhaps the first in South Asia and Middle East as well.”
