Product Overview

  • Solvent Plate
  • Paper
  • Film
  • Water Based Ink
  • UV Ink
  • Analogue
  • 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

  • Especially developed for high resolution label printing
  • Suitable for flexible packaging and folding cartons
  • Excellent resistance to UV inks
  • Also suitable for solvent and water based inks
  • High ozone resistance
  • Reliable processing and easy handling due to colour change during exposure
  • Brilliant image quality, wide tonal range for reproduction of fine image elements
  • Ideal for printing of fine, homogeneous vignettes
  • Optimum ink coverage in solid areas
  • Reverse elements remain open
