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.
