ECO3 introduces next-generation all-in-one aqueous flexo solution at Labelexpo 2025

Wednesday 17. September 2025 - With LED UV exposure, it avoids the warm-up delays of traditional lamps, lowers energy needs, and provides more stable operation. The steady, uniform output of LED ensures consistent plate quality across jobs, while eliminating the hassle of frequent lamp changes and recalibrations.

ECO3 will unveil the future of aqueous flexo platemaking at Labelexpo Europe, taking place 16-19 September 2025 in Barcelona. At Hall 5, Booth 5D13, ECO3 will premiere the MAGIS PRO-Eco 300+, a next-generation all-in-one aqueous processor that combines LED exposure, washout, drying, and finishing in a compact, efficient unit.
The MAGIS PRO-Eco 300+ is designed to make sustainable platemaking simpler and faster. Its integrated workflow is intended to simplify daily operation, reduce manual steps, and support a more efficient production process.
Tailored for label and narrow web converters as well as repro houses, it offers a practical path to solvent-free platemaking. Unlike thermal systems, this approach combines aqueous processing with ECO3’s unique Dry-Film-Lamination technology, ensuring the consistency, detail and reliability that flexo production demands.
“Our focus is on providing a complete solution”, says Guy Desmet, Global Head of Strategy & Marketing at ECO3. “The MAGIS PRO-Eco 300+ is an important addition because it makes aqueous platemaking more practical and accessible. More importantly, it fits into a bigger picture: an open flexo system that supports both aqueous and solvent workflows, designed to help printers achieve the highest consistency and quality while working more efficiently and with a lower environmental footprint.”
Sustainability at the core of a complete flexo offering
ECO3’s flexo portfolio is designed to give flexo professionals real choices in how they move toward more sustainable production. With the MAGIS PRO-Eco 300+ supporting aqueous platemaking, the Amfortis workflow ensuring accuracy and automation, and the availability of solvent plate solutions for hybrid setups, ECO3 provides a flexible path forward that matches each printer’s needs and pace of investment.
This offering is further strengthened by ECO3’s technologies, such as SPIR@L screening, which delivers sharper image detail and smoother tonal rendering, and GridTune surface patterning, which ensures consistent ink transfer and optimized solids. By improving quality and consistency on press, these innovations help flexo professionals reduce waste and downtime, supporting more efficient and sustainable production.
