CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGY Marzano TOYOBO
During the exhibition, Polygraphinter-2002 on the bench Yam International demonstrated the process of making water-washable photopolymer flexo plates TOYOBO Cosmolight on a dedicated processor TOYOBO.
An independent jury and numerous experts have appreciated the opportunity photopolymer flexo plates TOYOBO. In particular, the clarity of dots in the range of 2 to 98%, spot uniformity and sharpness Inverted elements, sharpness, and excellent reproduction of halftone images, and text size of 2 points. An important fact is that the elution is not the data plate using any solvent solutions, and when exposed to a solution of water and detergent.
As a result, the drying time is reduced to 20 - 30 minutes, and the overall manufacturing process flexographic form is not more than 1 hour of varying thickness!
Also noted the high environmental situation around the flexographic platemaking production based on the plates and the processor TOYOBO, in which there are no harmful fumes and organic alcohols and hydrocarbons (representing solvent solutions). The problem of disposal of waste water to the polymer is completely solved by a specialized water wash process TOYOBO.
The range of photopolymer flexo plates TOYOBO Cosmolight includes 5 types of plates of varying hardness and thickness with different characteristics from 1.14 to 3.18 mm. Plates resistant to both water, alcohol (with a maximum of 30% ethyl acetate), and UV-curable inks and a run length to have 1 million printed impressions or higher. Also available is a specialized type of CLV for coating plates.
Water wash flexo forms of technology really is a big step forward in the improvement of the process, increase productivity, and reduce the environmental cost of finished forms. This fact is confirmed by numerous tests and use for many printing companies around the world.
