Dantex has announced the launch of its Aqua X, the company’s most advanced flexographic plate processing solution to date. The product, which will make its debut at Labelexpo Europe, brings new levels of speed, efficiency, and sustainability to water-wash plate technology.

The unveiling comes as Dantex also reintroduces the popular PicoColour digital press – now improved to deliver even greater accessibility and performance for label converters.

The Aqua X represents the next generation of Dantex’s renowned Aquaflex processing range. Specifically designed to work with the company’s advanced Aquaflex plate technology, the new system is a fully automatic, high-speed, water-wash solution. Offering enhanced reliability, efficiency, and productivity, the Aqua X establishes new benchmarks in solvent-free flexographic processing.

Key features include a Dantex Easy Access System, cloud-based online connectivity, integrated black mask removal and extremely low water and energy consumption. With a fully adjustable throughput speed, the Aqua X delivers consistent plate processing with outstanding print quality, including fine halftone resolution from 1% to 99% up to 200 lpi.

Relaunched PicoColour press

Alongside the Aqua X, Dantex will showcase its newly relaunched PicoColour press. Compact, versatile and affordable, the PicoColour provides high-quality digital output within a small footprint, making it an ideal solution for printers seeking flexibility without compromise. Also on show will be the high-performance PicoJet DRS, with live demonstrations highlighting impressive speed, precision, and reliability in digital UV inkjet printing.

Ben Danon, CEO of Dantex Group, says, “The launch of the Aqua X marks a major step forward in sustainable flexographic plate processing, bringing real benefits to productivity, reliability and print quality. Together with the PicoColour, we are offering customers both groundbreaking prepress and digital press technologies that meet today’s demands for efficiency, performance and cost-effectiveness.”

Visitors to booth #5E73 will also have the opportunity to discover Dantex’s comprehensive range of prepress and consumables, including sleeves and imaging equipment. Representatives from across the Dantex Group and its global distributor network will be on-hand to provide demonstrations, technical advice and support.
