nyloprint ®
Printing plates for letterpress and letterset packaging.
nyloprint® D - the digital plate generation for letterpress printing
With nyloprint® D, direct digital transfer of data to the
printing plate has arrived in letterpress printing. The digital plate
generation for the direct imaging of nyloprint® plates is based on
the proven, conventional range of printing plates. For the digital transfer of
information, the plates are equipped with a black mask layer into which the
information is transferred by means of a laser beam. The digital plates are
available on a polyester or steel base.
Plus points
- Elimination of film making
- Elimination of film processing devices
- Uniform transfer of data
- Quality improvement
Usable lasers
All laser devices which are presently used for photopolymer flexo printing plates
can also be used for the lasering of the nyloprint® D.
- Nd:YAG lasers: wave length = 1064 nm
- Diode lasers: wave length = 830 nm
- Fibre lasers: wave length = 1110 nm
