The Dish on Plates

Anderson & Vreeland now offers the Cosmolight NEL. This water-wash flexo plate is designed for water-based inks. Its benefits include low dot gain and sharp reverses, strong ink transfer, and easy inspection and registration. The Shore A plate is available in standard sizes and two gauges.

BASF Printing Systems has introduced the nyloflex® ACE and digiflex™ ACE DII flexographic printing plates. A new photopolymer material delivers tighter plate tolerances in gauge and allows a reduced washout time due to optimized solubility of the raw materials. A specially pre-treated carrier sheet provides the foundation for stable back exposure time. Both are fully processed and dried within 80 minutes.
