MacDermid launches UVR

- A 55 durometer plate, UVR is swell-resistant in aggressive UV inks

 

- UVR plates can be dual-processed, either in conventional solvents or in MacDermid's LAVA thermal platemaking system

 

MacDermid Printing Solutions has introduced a new digital flexo printing plate designed specifically for use with UV inks.

 

UVR is swell-resistant in aggressive UV inks, and also boasts low dot gain and excellent resolution capabilities.

 

A 55 durometer plate, UVR products offer exceptional drape that allows the plate to wrap around a narrow web cylinder with smaller repeats with relative ease, reducing the risk of plate lift.

 

UVR is commercially available in thicknesses of 0.045 in. (1.14mm) and 0.067 in (1.70mm), and in format sizes up to 52 x 80in (1,321 x 2,032mm).

 

MacDermid said UVR plates are ideally suited for the narrow web market, where UV inks are used heavily. UVR has comparable performance in water-based inks as well, another ink type used in the narrow web market.

 

Additionally, UVR plates can be dual-processed, either in conventional solvents or in MacDermid's LAVA thermal platemaking system.
