Miraclon has launched Flexcel NX Central 3.0, the latest evolution of its centralized software hub for Flexcel plate production. Designed to streamline operations and maximize plate performance, the release introduces powerful new capabilities that reinforce Miraclon’s commitment to driving innovation in flexographic printing.

At the core of the release is the Automated Calibration Tool, an intelligent feature that replaces manual calibration with a smart, self-service solution. By continuously validating and adjusting system settings, it ensures optimal platemaking conditions, significantly reducing variability and delivering consistent, high-precision plates that perform flawlessly on press.

“Flexcel NX Central 3.0 is another demonstration of Miraclon’s commitment to deliver precision, consistency and repeatability in the platemaking process – key pillars of modern flexo printing,” said Deana Conyard, director of product marketing and portfolio management, Miraclon. “It empowers customers with greater simplicity and agility in their platemaking workflows, helping them achieve the highest levels of plate performance and print production.”

In addition to the new calibration capabilities, Flexcel NX Central 3.0 provides seamless access to a suite of value-added features for the Flexcel NX System, including advanced triple-form surface patterning from Miraclon, PureFlexo Printing, which reduces unwanted ink spread and unscheduled press stops by up to 50%, and Automated Plate Layout, which eliminates 90% of the time spent manually producing plate layouts while boosting plate utilization by up to 10%.

New Flexcel NX System installations will include Flexcel NX Central 3.0, and upgrades for existing customers are now available.
