Water Based Ink

Digital

Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain, i.e. larger range of tonal values therefore improved contrast
Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow
Consistency in quality when repeating plate processing
Cost-effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required

Benefits

Plate characteristics

Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain.
Perfect printing results on fiber-based and demanding film-based materials.

Product features

Ideal for all absorbent and non-absorbent commonly used substrates.
Perfect print results with water- and solvent- based inks.
High solid density and defined line work on all paper substrates
Wide exposure latitude and open intermediate depths offer process stability and repeatability.
Excellent and consistent ink transfer especially with water based inks.
Suitable for water based and solvent based inks, conditionally suitable for UV inks.
