PLATE TECHNOLOGY

Editor, Label & Narrow Web

Asahi Photoproducts has launched a new plate in the Pinning Top Dot Technology (PTD) family, the AFP-TSP (Top Soft Pinning) for paper, folding carton and corrugated board applications, as well as for all flexible packaging such as aluminum or film substrates. PTD technology facilitates clean ink transfer and prevents ink accumulating on the plate surface and on shoulders in screen areas. This results in fewer stoppages for plate cleaning, reduced press downtime and improved machine OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). AFP-TSP plates allow the kiss-touch pressure setting, thus extending plate life and further reducing downtime and increasing margins. The new medium hard plate comes in four thicknesses, with Shore A hardness ranging from 48 to 69, and complements the harder AFP-TOP plates launched last year. A specially engineered Asahi polymer chemistry creates a low plate surface tension, which causes ink to form a globule and remain on the dot without running down the shoulders. This creates a higher ink profile with a large contact angle and high pinning point that delivers cleaner ink transfer from plate to substrate.
