Benefits

Plate characteristics

  • Consistent & Efficient creation of flat top dots and surface screening with LED exposure.
  • No additional consumables, no additional processing steps required.
  • Easy implementation in existing workflows.
  • Proven compatibility with LED systems in the market like Catena-E and XPS.

Outstanding print quality with LED exposure

  • 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.

Flexibility and efficiency

Suitable equipment

The nyloflex® NEF 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® NEF is suitable for all solvent based printing inks and conditionally suitable for water based and UV 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.
