Thermal offset plate Eclipse

Inherent to the nature of a process-free plate, Eclipse eliminates the need for a processor using chemicals. It thus reduces printers’ capex as well as the energy, disposal and maintenance costs in the prepress department, while also gaining them floor space. Eclipse, however, distinguishes itself from other process-free plates as this drop-in is just as easy to use as a conventional offset plate, combining press purity with excellent and stable image contrast and high scratch resistance. Eclipse is the most convenient process-free plate on the market, eclipsing all others. And it is flexible too, as it can be used with either conventional or H-UV/LED-UV inks. Keeps your press clean Thanks to Eclipse’s process-free technology, the coating of the plate gets transferred to the first few printed sheets, instead of to the fountain, ink or rollers. Superior and stable image contrast Eclipse enables quick visual image inspection and recognition by a punch & bending system. This avoids mix-ups on press or costly plate remakes. Excellent scratch resistance You can handle Eclipse plates without having to worry about damaging them. Better scratch resistance means less plates need to be remade, less press downtime and faster operations. Up to 24h office-light stability Eclipse is the only printing process-free printing plate that still has a great contrast after 24 hours in office light. That means you don’t need to store your plates in dark conditions. That is highly convenient and it will save you time!
