Flexo Plate Sleeves

Sleeves have other inherent pressroom advantages, too, such as savings on sticky back. Plus, since the plates are stored on the sleeve, printers don't run the risk of stretching or ripping them when they're removed from print cylinders.

From a quality standpoint, ITR imaging offers an exponential improvement over flat plate imaging. The distortion factors and skew errors associated with imaging a flat surface and then mounting that flat plate around a cylinder are completely eliminated. Color-to-color registration is achieved far more quickly because all sleeves are imaged at the same origination point and orientation.
