Description

Application:
Inherent to the nature of a process-free plate, Universal plates eliminate the need for a processor using chemicals. It thus reduces printers’ capex as well as the energy, disposal and maintenance costs in the prepress department, while also gaining floor space.

Universal, however, distinguishes itself from other process-free plates as this drop-in is just as easy to use as a conventional offset plate, combining press purity with excellent and stable image contrast and high scratch resistance. Universal Plates are the most convenient process-free plate on the market, eclipsing all others. And it is flexible too, as it can be used with either conventional or H-UV/LED-UV inks.

Benefits:

  • Keep your press clean – Do not back emulsion into a fountain solution. Rolls up 15 to 20 sheets
  • Superior and stable image contrast; prints very sharp
  • Up to 24 hours office-light stability
  • Excellent scratch resistance – superior to any plate on the market – True!
