Steel plates are made of high-quality special steel (hardness approx. 65 Rc). The thickness of the steel plates normally is approx. 10 mm, though for smaller machines plates with a thickness of 6 or 8 mm can also be used. Because of the high abrasion resistance these plates are ideal for large print series.
Teca-Print-steel plates are coated with a light-sensitive layer for etching.
As special editions you can also get steel plates with a polished surface and steel plates with chrome steel parts at Teca-Print.
As the material costs of steel plates can not be ignored, Teca-Print offers a grinding and lapping service for used plates: the steel plates are grinded and newly coated, so that it can be used for the next etching.
