Measure and Control 0.5% Highlights at 300 lpi & Better
Technology for Today's Flexo
Building on our 25+ year history of sales and support in flexographic plate and image analysis, the BetaFlex Pro2 Flexo Plate & Image Analyzer continues our tradition of excellence in image analysis for process control with the latest and most technically advanced Betaflex, the BetaFlex Pro2.
The 3rd Generation BetaFlex Pro2 delivers the same user friendly analysis for the user while adding new and technically innovative features from what the field has come to expect from the industry's standard for flexographic image analysis, while maintaining affordability.
The BetaFlex Pro2 - Improvements, Feature / Benefits
- The BetaFlex Pro2 now includes 4-different focus levels to obtain even sharper images inside the plate down to the plate floor
- New electronics and microprocessor technology, field upgradable Firmware, new LED technology with more powerful illumination
- New reflection illumination, including RGB illumination from two sides and IR illumination for black ink separation
- New transmission LED’s, controlled by the microprocessor improving inter-instrument agreement
As always The NEW BetaFlex Pro2 Offers Better, More Cost Effective Flexographic analysis From Superior Image Analysis for Better, More Profitable Product in One Affordable, Simple and Easy-To-Use Device.
All the most sophisticated prepress techniques can be measured and controlled at the Highest Resolution with ease, accuracy, and consistency in one device for Better Flexo with Much Less Waste with the industry standard for plate production.
Your BetaFlex Pro2 Flexo Plate & Image Analyzer comes complete with all the hardware and software needed to be up and working as soon as you receive your unit.
FREE TRAINING AND LIFETIME SUPPORT directly from Beta are included with your BetaFlex Pro2 purchase for the lifetime of your product, there is never a cost for any technical support.
NEW! "WORKFLOW AUTOMATION" SOFTWARE, QR CODE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY STREAMLINES AND SYTEMATIZES YOUR PLATE PRODUCTION FOR IMPROVED:
- Identification
- Analysis
- System setup
- Reporting of all plate production parameters
Halftone target values and tolerances are stored in the system database and automatically checked for updates with every plate submitted for analysis. Dot structure, plate thickness and relief measurements are also written to the relational database.
All contributing to a more profitable operation for better, more consistent production, reduced scrap, and a higher ROI.
Today's BetaFlex Pro2 Flexo Plate & Image Analyzer, has various options to streamline your Flexo Image and Print Analysis for simplified integration and data collection in your production workflow.
REVOLUTIONARY 3D IMAGING AND DOT STRUCTURE MODE FOR HD FLEXO adds topographical visualization to conventional dot area halftone measurements at 0.5%, 300 lpi and more.
Dot height, diameter, slope and more are visualized and automatically measured at 22,000 PPI. Surface enhancement techniques are easily seen and quantified.
Producing the smallest dots on plate DOES NOT guarantee fine highlights. Smooth vignettes, and clean print, PRODUCING BETTER DOT SHAPES DOES.
The BetaFlex Pro2’s 3D Imaging and Dot Structure Index measures and illustrates the characteristics of the processed plate and highlight dots FOR YOU TO PRODUCE THE MOST ACCURATE AND REPEATABLE PLATES.
Catch and correct badly structured highlight dots BEFORE the press run and the mounting of the plate.
Language Options: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese

The new high resolution system is portable and easy to use. Operating in TRANSMISSION mode at 14,000 PPI, it quickly and accurately measures all types of transparent flexo plates, digital ablation masks, and halftone films. The new Mask Stain Density function eliminates the need to carry an old fashioned film densitometer to verify laser energy, focus, and beam adjustments.
In PRINT mode, "Color Separation Analysis" imaging of color prints on film and paper provides measurements of Dot Area, Screen Ruling, Edge Factor and more. Excellent for work where there is no room for printed targets like cosmetic and pharmaceutical work. Data and images are easily captured and printed with the integral report generator and statistical analyzer. Offset plates can also be measured.
The Calibration Target and software system maintains a database of the instrument status to satisfy the most stringent ISO registration requirements. All of this is combined with the high precision, ease of use, and Beta product support that has made Betaflex the standard for Flexo Quality Control.
The new automatic 4 point calibration system eliminates the need to make multiple manual measurements.
- Measure flexo plates, films, and digital masks in conventional 2D mode (.5% at 300 lpi and better)
- Dot Structure Analysis in 3D mode reveals dot height, slope, and more
- Print mode measures true mechanical dot area on offset plates and prints
- Automatic 4 point calibration system with ISO-compliant target
- Mask Stain density function for laser ablation setup
- Image Overlay and Comparison function to visualize and measure dot changes
