PHOTOPOLYMER PLATES

CLEANPRINT TECHNOLOGY


WHAT IS IT? 

This technology utilizes photopolymer formulations developed by the chemical engineers at Asahi, which reduces the surface energy of the plate and enables a complete transfer of ink onto the substrate. The goal of CleanPrint is to see superior transfer properties with the ideal “kiss” impression of the plate to substrate, meaning less ink fill-in and fewer press stops for plate cleaning. 


WHY DO YOU WANT IT?

  • Increase Productivity – Cleaner ink transfer leads to shorter make-ready times, less waste and improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) 
  • Improve Print Quality – Achieve sharper image quality and reproduce dot sizes thinner than a human hair, to reproduce more than 90% of Pantone® colors 
  • Sustainability – CleanPrint plates emit fewer VOC’s, reduce waste from press stops and cleaning, and improve equipment efficiency, all with a smaller carbon footprint
  • Versatility–Clean Print technology is now available across all Asahi plate materials to suit all of your flexo printing needs
