Flint
Group has developed a soft, steel based letterpress printing plate for
brilliant quality in coating and printing of special effect inks. With the
nyloprint portfolio, Flint Group Flexographic Products offers a broad range of
high-end products for all kinds of letterpress applications. nyloprint WS-S
Digital plates represent the latest development of the digital steel based
product range with focus on coating and special applications, such as the use
of fluorescent inks in security printing.
This
new water washable plate type provides an improved solid ink density due to
brilliant ink transfer of the soft relief layer. Another benefit is the high
durability for long print runs. The plate is suitable for rotary letterpress,
as well as imprinting units and printing presses for special applications.
Digital
nyloprint printing plates can be imaged with resolutions of up to 10,160 dpi.
Particular advantages are observed in the reproduction of finest details
without any loss of film-related quality limitations, such as dust, scratches,
nicks, etc. Better reproducibility of repeat jobs with improved dimensional
stability help to further enhance print quality. As a result of the elimination
of film and chemicals for film processing, handling becomes much easier, and the
plate processing becomes more efficient. The handling of digital data enables a
secure and rapid data exchange worldwide, as well as an optimised data archive.
Another important effect is the environmentally friendly process without any
films and chemicals. Besides the 0,73 mm standard thickness of the digital
version, other thicknesses and a conventional plate type are also available on
request.
Test
plates can be ordered via the local sales representatives.
