MacDermid adds Digital Max C

Digital Max C a product line extension of its existing Digital Max, has a thicker PET backing than traditional Digital Max, providing for excellent registrations on coating stations. Digital Max C, a 78 durometer plate, is ideally suited for various water-based and UV coating applications. The optimized formulation allows for enhanced transfer capability with various specialty inks, varnishes, and spot and full coatings.

Digital Max C is also fully compatible with MacDermid’s LUX platemaking process for even further enhancement of coating transfer with surface screening techniques. Additionally, Digital MAX C can be dual processed, either in conventional solvents or in MacDermid’s Lava thermal platemaking system.

Digital Max C is designed for in-line finishing in offset coating presses with flexo coating units and for off-line finishing in coating presses.

Heather Barrett, director of marketing at MacDermid Printing Solutions, said: ‘The introduction of this new plate from MacDermid will help to broaden the capabilities of our customers by providing options to capture other business.

‘Digital Max C will serve as a complement to standard flexo print opportunities.’

Digital MAX C is commercially available in a thickness of 0.045in (1.14mm), and in format sizes up to 50 x 80in (1,270 x 2,032mm).
