- High durometer plate for flexible packaging, especially designed for LED exposure technology like Catena-E.
- Developed for the creation of Flat Top Dots and excellent reproduction of most commonly used surface screening, like Woodpecker Nano MC WSI, Crystal, or Q-Cell screens.
- Significantly improved ink lay-down and high solid ink density due to distinct reproduction of surface screen patterns.
- For outstanding print results on all film and foil substrates in reverse and frontal printing.
- Perfection in every detail: precise reproduction of the finest details in highlights.
