Autumn Graphics beta tests Miraclon’s Shine LED Lamp Kit

Packaging graphics solutions provider Autumn Graphics is among the latest flexo trade shops to invest in Miraclon’s Shine LED Lamp Kit.

A Shine LED kit has been retrofitted to a plate exposure frame at the company’s location in Fayetteville, Ark., where operations manager Wess Gano says his plate room staff “are enjoying faster exposure times and more consistent plate production, and are spending much less time calibrating and recalibrating.” He adds that additional Shine LED Lamp Kits will be installed at other Autumn sites in the future.

Headquartered in London, Ont., Autumn Graphics provides converters, printers, agencies and consumer product clients with pre-media production, plate production, brand management, 3D packaging development and print production technical services. Founded in 1982, the company has been a Flexcel NX System user since 2008.

Autumn has regularly beta tested Miraclon innovations, so evaluating the Shine LED Lamp Kit was a logical decision.

“When Miraclon approached us and explained the thinking behind the product we saw it as another opportunity for improving our processes. We looked at what was involved closely, as we do whenever we consider process changes — we thoroughly examine everything to ensure we’re not introducing any risks — and decided that taking this path to LED offered significant efficiency gains,” added Gano.
