basysPrint and Ipagsa develop offset plate

basysPrint, a division of Punch Graphix, and Ipagsa, an offset plate manufacturer, have released Activa FPP, a new pre-sensitized offset plate which has been accredited for the complete range of basysPrint UV-Setters. Used in combination with basysPrint’s UV-Setter series of platesetters, the Activa FPP plate is claimed to guarantee highest productivity and maximum image quality across the full tonal range. 

Activa FPP has a high UV sensitive plate coating for fast exposure. This dark blue coating provides strong image contrast after developing, so that jobs can be easily viewed, and densitometry measurements will be reliable. The plate claims excellent on-press performance, delivering fast start-up, excellent ink/water balance, and durability for runs of more than 150,000 impressions without baking and one million prints post-baked. It is suitable for a wide range of applications on sheetfed and web presses, and can be imaged up to a resolution of 3200 dpi, and FM screens of 20µ.

Activa FPP has a wide exposure and developing latitude, and is compatible with a wide range of leading analog and CTP plate processors. Made with the highest quality aluminum and raw materials, the plate complies with all European quality control standards. 

Christophe Lievens, basysPrint’s director of sales and marketing, said: ‘The Activa FPP plate is the result of close co-operation between basysPrint and Ipagsa, and we’re delighted that we’re now able to bring this outstanding new plate to the market. Ipagsa is a leading manufacturer and we’re certain that our customers will enjoy the productivity and profitability that the Activa FPP plate will bring to their businesses.’ 

‘Ipagsa is extremely proud to bring this plate to the market with our partners at basysPrint,’ said Gianni Conti, export manager for Ipagsa Industrial. ‘The combination of Activa FPP with basysPrint’s UV-Setter series of CtP platesetters is perfect for any company looking for the highest standards of plate performance in terms of image quality and stability over lengthy print runs.’
