High compatibility and environment friendly
negative thermal plates are compatible with most existing thermal plate-setters, removing the need to purchase new equipments. In the washing-out process, printers can choose developers with a PH value of 9-10, which makes the processing Eco-friendly; or choose the low-chem developer for plate development, which is both Eco and compatible.
Excellent printing performance
The plate promises excellent printingperformance: quick start-up, stability in ink/water balance and quick restart after a stop. It is easy-to-operate and cost-efficient. The run length can be up to 200,000 impressions with unbaked plates & normal ink, and 100,000 impressions with unbaked plates & UV ink.(Dependent on imaging and printing conditions)
Fine image reproduction
Negative thermal plate can produce dot reproduction at 200lpi, 1-99% with satisfactory printing results.
