The Merits of Water-Washable Flexo Plates
McLantis water-washable flexographic plate not only contributes to reducing environmental impact, but also achieves short-time plate making. In addition, high quality is maintained even in long run printing with a large number of prints.
Quick Plate-Making
• Minimum time washout contributes to efficient and comfortable plate-making for everyone. (Plate making time is about 40 minutes per plate.)
High Quality Long Run Printing
• Excellent resolution / reproducibility and sharp images can be obtained.
• Hard to gain paper powder, and have excellent ink-transfer.
• Excellent ink resistant, wear resistance, weatherability.
Reduce Environmental Footprint
• Tap water (at temperature of 40-50°C with surf actant added) is used for plate washing.
• No need for solvent reclamation system. VOC emission will be eliminated.
• Shortening of the wait time for press.
• Quick reprocessing at the time of a trouble.
• Solvent & waste fluid processing free.
• High speed plate processing reduces the cost for lighting and fuel.
