nyloflex® FTM 114 D Overview
Solvent Plate
Flat Top Dot-Smooth
Paper
Water Based Ink
Digital
- Medium hard inherent flat top dot flexographic printing plate
with smooth plate surface for solvent plate processing. - Flat top dots with standard tube or a LED UV-A light exposure.
- Developed especially for the corrugated preprint and aseptic
market for use of water based inks. - The plate has dot sharpening in the highlights and is able to
reproduce surface screenings.
Benefits
Plate characteristics
- Medium hard, inherent flat top dot flexographic printing plate with smooth plate surface for solvent plate processing.
- Flat top dots with standard tube or a LED UV-A light exposure.
- Developed especially for the corrugated preprint and aseptic market for use with water-based inks.
Convincing print results
- Superior ink lay down on different grades of paper substrates & film-based materials.
- Better in highlights than most market common plates at the same solid ink density, increasing shelf appeal for brand owners.
- Inherent flat top dot technology ensures minimum dot wear, resulting in less dot gain compared to round top dot plates.
Reduced costs and waste
- Less plate waste due to the easy combination of screen work and solids on only one plate.
- Improving press up-time by high wear-resistant Flat Top Dots and plate characteristics of the FTM plate.
Suitable equipment
The nyloflex® FTM 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
Suitable for all water-based printing 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 imaging, exposure and finishing steps, as well as detailed information about handling and storing, can be found in the nyloflex® User Guide.
Certification
