Czech Republic Toray Graphics has introduced a waterless offset printing plate, Imprima LJ, which the company said, is aimed at those label printers who are looking for a high quality, high durability water-washable plate that provides printing stability and significant sustainability.
The leading manufacturer of waterless offset plate technology said, the 175 lpi ensures that the label printers can produce even the most demanding jobs with ease at a quality customers will love. “Plus, the Imprima LJ plate is 200% more durable than comparable waterless offset printing plates,” a company statement said.
This thermal negative CTP printing plate uses a standard imaging wavelength of 830 nanometers. It is ideal for label production but can also be used for a wide range of other applications, including CD/DVDs, loyalty cards, metal decoration and for printing on non-absorbent substrates.
These plates are also ideal for printers using UV curable inks as well as for sheetfed and on web presses that require production quality such as density stability during the print run. Its high resistance to chemicals and UV inks makes it an extremely durable plate. It also offers excellent screening at 1-99% with 36 micron FM or hybrid screening, and 2-98% with AM screening at 175 lpi.
