Benefits
PLATE CHARACTERISTICS
- Inherently flat top dot flexo plate to cope with all challenges in corrugated post-print
- Suitable for all water-based printing inks
- Very good washboard reduction on various substrates e.g. uncoated liners or kraft liners in combination with a C and B flutes
CONSISTENT PRINT RESULTS
- Stable printing, long run life and superior durability.
- Excellent ink-transfer & laydown due to fine-tuned super-soft plate durometer.
- Pressure compensation avoids or significantly reduces fluting effects.
SIMPLIFY PREPRESS AND PLATE MAKING
- Ready to print quickly, reduced start-up time and waste.
- Higher productivity through superior stability at higher press speeds.
- Saving cost due to the combination of halftone images and solids on one plate instead of two plates.
- FTD out of the box – No additional equipment, processing steps, or consumables needed.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND CONSISTENCY
- Less dot gain variation on press due to flat top dot plate characteristic.
- Ready to print quickly, reduced start-up time and waste.
- Higher productivity through superior stability at higher press speeds.
Suitable equipment
The nyloflex® FTL Digital can be processed with nyloflex® processing equipment and all similar devices and can be used with all laser systems suitable for imaging flexo printing plates.
Printing inks
The nyloflex® FTL Digital is suitable for all water based printing inks.
Washout solvents
Especially good results are achieved with nylosolv® washout solvents. nylosolv® can be distilled and reused.
Processing information
A detailed description of the imaging, exposure and finishing steps, as well as detailed information about handling and storing, can be found in the nyloflex® User Guide.
Certification
