  • 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

  • Specifically designed for the North American corrugated plate market with extreme durability during processing
  • Perfect for all corrugated print applications – from challenging graphics and multi-color designs to simple line work
  • Outstanding ink transfer, excellent solid area coverage and density, yet minimal dot gain on all substrates
  • Perfectly compatible with flat top dot exposure technology to reduce washboarding effect on post print board
  • Optimized formula for fast exposures and processing
  • Excellent backing adhesion for superior mounting strength
  • Extremely robust and durable material
