nyloflex® FAR 254 Overview
A monolayer plate that consists of a light sensitive photopolymer layer bonded to a polyester film.
Benefits
- Established all around plate for standard applications in flexible packaging
- Also suitable for label printing and corrugated preprint
- Suitable for all absorbent and non-absorbent substrates commonly used today
- For printing of basic screens, solids and line work
- Easy handling and robust in processing
- Process reliability due to colour change during main exposure
- Wide exposure latitude combined with short main exposure times
- Economic due to long lifetime and durability
- Resistant to ozone
- High resistance to solvent based inks
- Also suitable for use with water based inks, conditionally suitable with UV inks
Suitable equipment
The nyloflex® FAR can be processed with nyloflex® processing equipment and all similar devices.
Printing inks
Suitable for all solvent based and water based printing inks and conditionally suitable for UV inks (ethyl acetate content preferably below 15%, ketone content preferably below 5%).
Washout solvents
Especially good results are achieved with nylosolv® washout solvents. nylosolv® can be distilled and reused.
Processing information
A detailed description of the individual platemaking steps, as well as detailed information about processing and storing can be found in the nyloflex® User Guide.
