AFP-DSH The high-durometer digital plate for halftone designs |
|
AFP-DSH plate has slightly higher durometer than most conventional
plates, which provides excellent print quality with balanced dot-
distribution and smooth, dense solids.
AFP-DSH 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.
AFP-DSH has higher mechanical strength compared to competitive products. AFP-DSH has
less halftone dot chipping during processing and printing.
AFP-DSH plate has higher resilience compared to conventional plates having similar or higher
durometer. This provides superior ink transfer for AFP-DSH plate.

Inks and
solvents
|
Irrespective of the ink systems used - solvent-or water-base
or UV ink - the AFP-DSH 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-DSH 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
ozone should be avoided.
