Digital Prepress Workflows

DeskPack - Esko has taken the best of its packaging and prepress technologies and put it right inside the world's most popular design tools, Adobe® Illustrator® and Adobe® Photoshop®, used to create more than 90% of all packaging designs.

BackStage™ - A Smart workflow server. Automation and organization. BackStage maximizes productivity, repeatability and consistency in any workflow. This client-server software is about a lot more than just executing background tasks, it is about doing your Jobs faster, cheaper and with a lot less errors.

OpenRIP® Flexo/Label Edition - Increase your pro-ductivity with OpenRIP’s easy-to-use automated flexo tools; Auto Step-N-Repeat, Bearer Bars, Distortion Calculation and Die Database. Combined with a high-end Post-Script interpreter, designed for use with label prepress environments of all sizes.

Compose - Professional workflow solutions designed to streamline prepress production ensuring greater throughput, faster turnaround times and high-quality output.

EskoArtwork Over 90% of all digital flexo plates globally are imaged on a CDI, demonstrating that flexo printers insist on CDI plates and sleeves for their work. They attain superb results that before were only achievable in offset or gravure. The CDI family of imaging devices spans the entire range of flexo printing applications: from narrow web label printing to wide format cor-rugated printing.

FlexoLaser offers compatibility with all commercial ablative masked photopolymer plate materials, whether solvent or water-wash, and deliver exceptionally high quality output. Choose from five FlexoLasers in sizes from 25"x19-5/8" up to 80" for processing digital pho-topolymer flexo plates, sleeves and digital letterpress and dry offset plates.
