Fujifilm Flenex-FW
Developed for the next generation
Think sustainable printing means compromising? Think again!
Creation is proud to supply Flenex-FW photopolymer plates.
Developed by leading global technology brand Fujifilm, Flenex-FW unlocks low-carbon prepress to take sustainable printing operations to the next level. Proving that printers don’t need to choose between ‘green printing’ and ‘clean printing’, Flenex-FW combines quality, speed and precision in one high-performance sustainable flexo plate, eliminating the need for harmful VOC solvent washout in prepress.
Like every product in the Creation Reprographics range, the plates come backed by Creation’s unmatched printing and colour management expertise, helping printers to get the most out of their equipment, run after run after run.
Benefits:
- Solvent-free and water-washable, Flenex FW removes the need for harmful VOC solvents in packaging and label prepress, reducing the overall carbon burden of flexo
- Faster platemaking, ready in under 40 minutes. That’s a 300% reduction over conventional polymer plates!
- Outstanding precision and resolution, printing at 4,000dpi with a 1% flat top dot, no matter the run length or complexity
- Designed for longevity, Flenex FW is more than twice as durable as comparable solvent plates, providing a tighter ROI for printers
- Cleaner, greener printing with an innovative rubber-based compound that reduces oxygen reaction for crisper graphics
- Extremely low cost-in-use through boosting machine uptime and efficiency.
Seeing is believing – and Creation is a Fujifilm Flenex FW Centre of Excellence!

DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST EASY EFE plate
The DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST EASY EFE delivers a consistent, higher quality solution producing improved print characteristics on press.
The DuPont plate is a built-in flat top dot digital plate designed for the highest quality printing of half tones, linework and solids. It also has an engineered surface for higher solid ink density without the need for micro-screening.
Suitable for flexible packaging and labelling, the DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST EASY EFE is recommended for printing on smooth surfaces and film substrates.
Benefits:
- Provides a consistent and stable print surface.
- Higher latitude and better uniformity reduces press make ready time.
- Delivers higher resolution and a wide tonal range for crisper sharper printing results.
- Production of finished plates is less than one hour, with no drying step needed – ideal for quick turnaround at the highest possible quality.
- Production takes place without solvent washout.
Dry Offset Plates
The ‘wet-on-wet’ ink transfer presents several distinct printing problems that must be addressed in both the pre-press and plate production departments before your packaging can truly stand out on the shelf.
Through continuous innovation we have overcome some of these traditional challenges for dry offset printing: Smooth highlights, clean printing of text and fine positive and negative linework are now possible.
Rotary Screens
This experience combined with our continuous development in the manufacturing process, means we believe we are able to produce the most cost effective, quickest turnaround service currently available.
Our extensive product range offers our customers a wide range of solutions for almost every screen printing application.

Kongsberg Cutting Table
All of our flexo plates are automatically cut to ensure they are 100% press ready, resulting in a huge risk, time and cost saving for the printer, as well as increasing the longevity of the plates through round corner cutting.
All plates can also be permanently identified by scribing and tattooing the plates, which is essential particularly for pharmaceutical work auditing.
