AFP-DSF The medium-durometer digital plate for universal designs |
|
AFP-DSF plate is designed to fulfill customer's expectations for high
quality work, and is most suiable for use in quality flexography, flexible
packaging, paper, tag & label and pre-print.
The "High-flexibility" and "Medium-durometer" features of the
AFP-DSF plate combine to produce superb ink coverage in solid areas
and fine reproduction in highlight areas. This flexibility also ensures
a vry good lay-down of plate on cylinders when mounting.
AFP-DSF plate material features a very strong black layer which is produced under an exclusive
Asahi AFP patent. This patented technology enables easy handling of unexposed plate material.
Because of the dynamics of the black mask layer, it is almost impossible to damage or smudge
prior to the lasersetting step.
The wide latitude of the AFP-DSF plate ensures accurate tone-value reproduction of screens
up to 175lpi, with a tonal range of 1% to 95%.

Inks and
solvents
|
Irrespective of the ink systems used - solvent-or water-base
or UV ink - the AFP-DSF plate always ensures optimum ink transfer.
It is permissible to use solvent mixtures containing a limited
amount of active solvents (ethyl acetate content-preferably under 10%).

Storage of
raw
plates
|
AFP-DSF plates should be stored at a room temperature of 5-25°C
and relative humidity of 55%.
|
Storage of
used
plates
|
Careful cleaning of the plates after printing is recommended.
Direct exposure to sunlight, heat and high concentrations of
