ADVANTAGES

PRODUCTION
PLATE PRODUCTION WITHOUT SOLVENTS
Solvent plates are not the only plates to grant printing quality to label and flexo packaging printers. Thanks to water washing processing Aquaflex plates allow printers to produce plates in few minutes and print directly.
PRINT WITH ANY TYPE OF INK
Aquaflex is the water washable plate specific for all kind of inks: water, UV and solvent base.
EXCELLENT RESOLUTION AND LONG RUNS
Aquaflex has been created for flexo printing: it's flexible and with an excellent ink transfer. Colour density is comparable to rotogravure.
DOWN TIME REDUCED
Aquaflex flexo plates are able to lose well the color allowing to drastically reduce, if not cut out totally, machine downtimes due to the cleaning of cliché.

OUR TESTIMONIALS
Cosa ti ha convinto ad usare le lastre Aquaflex?
"Ho avuto modo di toccare con mano la qualità, ed è una qualità davvero notevole, soprattutto in termini di definizione.
L’ho notato anche paragonando i polimeri che avevamo creato noi con quelli fatti in precedenza dai service."
“Eravamo un’azienda che stampava in tipografico e siamo passati alla stampa flexo, affidandoci a un service. Da subito abbiamo capito l’esigenza di fare tutto in casa tramite CTP. Cercavamo una lastra che funzionasse bene in flexo e abbiamo trovato Aquaflex. Ci hanno convinto i test che abbiamo fatto e la resa che abbiamo ottenuto."
