Asahi AFP: High-quality solvent plates

For those label printers preferring a solvent-based system, there are a variety of digital and analog Asahi AFP flexo plates that deliver exceptional quality. AFP has more than 30 years of experience producing and advancing the development of photopolymers that form the basis for its AFP plates. Asahi AFP plates, available in both hard and medium-firm versions, have excellent mechanical stability for longer printing time between cleaning. Asahis AFP SH (analog) or DSH (digital) is a hard flexo plate specifically developed for excellent print quality and high durability for flexible packaging and labels. The AFP SF (analog) or DSF (digital) is Asahi’s medium hard range of plates for high quality printing onto all substrates and flexo applications. Its surface tension and plate hardness produce outstanding ink coverage. The plate’s high flexibility makes it possible to print with small-diameter cylinders, perfect for narrow-web label printing.
