Violet offset plate N95-VCF

anodized aluminumnegative workingwith chemistry free cleaning

N95-VCF belongs to ECO3’s range of photopolymer offset plates for the newspaper industry. Like other violet offset plates, it is sensitized for visible lasers emitting at 405 nm, but instead of requiring a chemical developer for processing, it is designed for chemistry-free operation. This chemistry-free plate works with all mainstream violet CtP units currently in use at newspaper print sites across the world. It is the most environmentally friendly plate on the market. Using a pH-neutral clean-out solution saves 100 percent of water and eliminates the use of developer and replenisher. High robustness on the press N95-VCF excels when it comes to run length, dot gain, press roll-up… Fast clean-up, make ready and restarts This saves paper waste, time and money Easy handling Once cleaned out, the image contrast of N95-VCF plates is very high, allowing a faultless physical image inspection and as such avoiding confusion or mix-up on press. Imaging & processing principle During exposure, the violet-laser diode starts the polymerization of the image area, which is completed in the first section of the COU. Subsequently the plate is gummed with a dedicated plate gum, during which process the soft, unexposed non-imaged area is easily and cleanly removed. Once cleaned out, the plate is fully daylight-resistant. Durable substrate N95-VCF plates provide a solid foundation for consistent press performance. Advanced electrochemical graining and anodizing yield the reliability and robustness needed on a newspaper press and the durability required for long press runs. Scratch resistance is high.
