Benefits
Highest print quality
- High print contrast with an exceptional tonal range
- Brilliant halftone gradations due to very fine halftone dots (< 20 micron)
- Smooth vignettes
- High resolution – up to 10 160 dpi
- Excellent solid density due to brilliant ink transfer
- Very good durability for long print runs
- Reliably reusable for repeat orders
Efficient, reliable and fast plate processing
- Wide exposure latitude combined with high intermediate depths
- Highly productive and cost saving due to plate processing within 25-35 min
- Reduced downtimes on press due to fast replacement of damaged plates
Advantages of nyloprint® Digital
Higher print quality
- 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 can achieve higher density
- Highly consistent especially when repeating plate processing
Cost-effective and environmentally friendly
- No film costs
- No chemicals for film development
- Electronic filing of graphics, film storage is redundant
- Easy and fast data exchange – worldwide
