LQ-DP Digital Plate for Flexible Packaging
For Flexible Packaging and Labels
SF-GL Analog Flexo Plates
• Medium hard plate, optimized for the printing of designs that combine halftones and solids in one plate
• Ideal for all absorbent and non-absorbent commonly used substrates (i.e. plastic and aluminium foil, coated and uncoated boards, preprint liner)
• High solid density and minimum dot gain in the halftone
• Wide exposure latitude and good relief depths
• Suitable for the use with water and alcohol-based printing inks
SF-DGL Digital Flexo Plates
• Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain, i.e. larger range of tonal values therefore improved contrast
• Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow
• Consistency in quality when repeating plate processing
• Cost effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required
SF-DG Digital Flexo Plates
• A softer digital plate than SF-DGL, which is suitable for label and tags, folding cartons, and sacks, paper, multiwall printing
• Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow
• Consistency in quality when repeating plate processing
• Cost effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required
For Corrugated
SF-GT Analog Flexo Plates
• Especially for printing on coarse corrugated fluted board, with uncoated and half coated papers
• Ideal for retail packages with simple designs
• Optimized for use in inline corrugated print production
• Very good ink transfer with excellent area coverage and high solid density
• Perfect adaptation to corrugated board surfaces reduces washboard effect
• Less plate cleaning due to special surface properties
• Extremely robust and durable material thus
▫ high print run stability
▫ excellent storage capability
▫ low swelling characteristic
▫ high resistance to ozone
SF-DGT Digital Flexo Plates
• Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain, i.e. larger range of tonal values therefore improved contrast
• Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow
• Consistency in quality when repeating plate processing
• Cost effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required
SF-DGS Digital Flexo Plates
• Softer and lower durometer compared to SF-DGT, perfect adaptation to corrugated board surfaces and reduces washboard effect
• Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain, i.e. larger range of tonal values therefore improved contrast
• Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow
• Consistency in quality when repeating plate processing
• Cost effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required
SF-L Analog Flexo Plates
High plate hardness for reliable print quality
• suitable for a broad range of substrates
• very good and consistent ink transfer with excellent area coverage
• high solid density and minimum dot gain in the halftones
• intermediate depths with excellent contour definition Efficient handling and superior durability
• convenient plate processing with short exposure times, light finishing could be avoided
• high print run stability due to superior resistance against mechanical stress
• long lifetime due to robust and durable material
• reduced cleaning cycles due to special surface properties
