Dots Do It Right
Getting the right dot structure for its flexo plates was critical for CSW to support both its label and corrugated clientele.
From the beginning, carbon-coated digital plates prevented platemakers from using a vacuum to remove oxygen from their frame exposure units. This inability to inhibit oxygen led to the partial polymerization of the dots, which gives them desirably steep shoulders, but, for corrugated converters, a less-than-desirable round-tipped profile.
