A thousand years ago, in the early Song Dynasty, Bisheng invented man's firstgeneration of the printing process, promoting man's heritage and development. Now, also in the same legendary place, CRON is taking on thechallenge of the printing culture, its mission, embarking on the long journeyof change and innovation in the printing industry.
CRON has been committed to the optimization and innovation of traditional
printing since its establishment in 1992. CRON's mission is to bring sustained
benefits to printing enterprises through creative design and excellent
manufacturer processes.
Now, CRON employs a top-quality scientific research team with a high level ofadvanced technological experience in international applications and theability for independent innovation. The team has obtained almost one
hundred patents.
With more than 20 years innovation and development, CRON became thefirst company to draft the national standard for CTP. CRON is also the only
certified CTP training center in China. As a leader in the global CTP field,
CRON has the largest CTP production base in the world, with an annual
capacity of more than 1000 units. To date, CRON has installed more than
8000 units across the globe and supplied products and services to almost one
hundred countries and regions.
CRON's philosophy encourages the company to "take scientific and technological innovation as the driving force, make quality your survival and makeprogress every day from beginning to end. CRON improves its productsystem and forms the four core product lines, which are offset CTP system,
HDI flexo CTP, offset printing plates, and EZC intelligent printing system, tomeet the requests of industry 4.0.
From Germany to the USA and Malaysia, CRON has opened branch offices
around the world and, at the same time, extended its R&D and production
base, service, and spare parts bases. CRON has earned praise fromworldwide users and brought new power to the promotion of the printing
industry.
CRON will stay true to its mission, hold its belief, and move diligently ahead.

Automatic detection of thick plate
According to the actual thickness of the plate, automatic focusing ensuresthat the image dot quality is not aﬀected by diﬀerent plate thickness.

High speed plate imaging is the basis of high efficiency
In the application ﬁeld of packaging plate imaging, the speed of CRON HDI can be more than 8m²/h, which
fully meets the needs of packaging market users.

High resolution is the foundation of high quality plate making.
CRON HDI brings the latest technology to ﬂexo, featuring a resolution-set at 4800/5080dpi and maximum
over 10000dpi. The high resolutions achieved have solved the common problems associated with lowerresolutions(for instance jagged edges and curves), and signiﬁcantly improved the printing quality of ﬁnelines. It can also create smooth gradations, with no hard or sudden changes in tonal values and superb
performance in highlight areas.
（1）Makes printed colors richer（2）Enhances the precision of security printing（3）Solves the sawtooth noise problem of PCB ciruit printing

CRON is dedicated to providing a high cost-performance complete flexo plate-making solution, withhigher efficiency, lower investment and easier maintenance.
The packaging design and 3D preview software from Arden in the UK, Coupled with workflow and Rip
solutions from Kodak and Xitron, bring outstanding package design results. The digital flexo plates from
Toyobo, Flint, MacDermid, Dupont, Toray, Huaguang, and others achieve excellent performance when
they are imaged on CRON HDI. Popular brands like G&J, Heights, and DuPont offers different levels ofplate processing.
A reliable, easy and excellent solution is the guarantee for the best plate-making quality.
High-resolution plate imaging is the foundation of perfect printing.
