Application
The AFP-SG plate is developed for use in flexo printing such as beverage cartons, paper cup and label printing, where aggressive inks containing
active solvents are used. The wide exposure latitude of the AFP-SG plate ensures accurate tone-value reproduction of screens up to 60 l/cm (152 lpi),
with a tonal range of 3% to 95%, and open and sharp contour reproduction of reverse image elements. Thanks to the unique features of excellent solvent
resistance as well as fine reproduction, the AFP-SG plate allows sharp printing results.
• wide exposure latitude
• steep relief shoulders
• excellent reproduction of tonal values
• open and deep reverse image elements
