ITP Epic is a marriage of first-to-market technologies intended to enhance print quality and consistency while simplifying workflows. This photopolymer plate has clean print technology, is UV LED compatible, and can be processed either in conventional solvents or in MacDermid’s Lava thermal platemaking system.

ITP Epic is said to offer a unique micro-rough surface for excellent ink transfer for challenging flexographic printing applications or unique ink requirements. An innovative cap layer, specifically developed for the ITP chemistry, ensures the sheet photopolymer renders the best printing outcomes with the most forgiving operation window, according to MacDermid.

‘The flexo market cast their vote with a resounding request for MacDermid to combine its market leading capped plate technology with ITP,’ said Patrick Mullaney, Vice president, Americas at MacDermid Graphic Solutions. ‘Lux ITP Epic provides our customers the ability to increase productivity while improving consistency.’
