Title: The Innovations of Pascal Thomas
Introduction
Pascal Thomas is a notable inventor based in Hamburg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of flexographic printing technology. With a total of 9 patents to his name, his work has advanced the efficiency and effectiveness of printing processes.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a process and apparatus for feeding a flexographic printing plate processor. This invention involves a plate processing line and methods for producing a flexographic printing plate. An imaging station applies image information to a first plate, followed by a first exposure station that cures the plate. The process further includes applying one or more of water, a solvent, and/or a thermal process to the first plate. Additionally, a drying station or an after-exposure station is configured to expose the plate to further radiation. A feeding station is designed to feed the cured first plate and a second plate to the processing station. A transportation cart may also transport the plates between the exposure stations and the processing station. Another significant patent is for a system and process for persistent marking of flexo plates and the plates marked therewith. This invention allows for non-printing indicia defined by areas of presence and absence of polymer in the plate floor, which are readable downstream of the washing step but do not print during the actual printing process.
