Benefits
Advantages of nyloprint® Digital
- Reproduction of finer details and less dot gain due to digital imaging
- High dimensional stability
- No defects caused by dust and damaged films
- No data loss during transfer
- Smoother plate surface to achieve higher ink density
- Highly consistent especially when repeating plate processing
- Cost effective and environmentally friendly as no film needed and no chemicals needed for film development
Highest print quality
- Excellent solid density due to brilliant ink transfer of the soft relief layer
- High register accuracy due to the dimensional stability of the aluminium base
- Very good durability for long print runs
- Reliably reusable for repeat orders
Efficient, consistent and fast plate processing
- Highly productive and cost-effective due to plate processing within 25-35 min
- Reduced downtimes on press due to fast replacement of plates
- Wide exposure latitude combined with open reverses
Applications
- Water-washable – ideal for inhouse plate processing, e.g. on nyloprint® Flowline Washer
- Designed for high quality demands in coating with UV-varnish
- Inline and offline print finishing
- For solid and spot coating
