MacDermid Graphics Solutions has added new
photopolymer plate codenamed Digital MCP to its patented
Clean Plate technology portfolio.
Digital MCP is a hard durometer, round top dot
photopolymer plate featuring MacDermid’s patented Clean
Plate technology designed for flexo printing. The combination
of digital plate chemistry and clean plate technology is
uniquely designed to print cleaner on press, reduce ink
build-up in-between dots and reverses, and require fewer
press stops for plate cleaning. The reduction in physical
cleaning requirements extends the plate life, which is
especially useful for longer print runs.
The new plate is optimized for processing in MacDermid’s
LAVA thermal system; however, it can be used also with
conventional solvent wash or thermal systems.
“MacDermid’s patented Clean Plate technology is a key
aspect for all of our future photopolymer plate innovations,’ said
Ryan Vest, director of Innovation at MacDermid Graphics
Solutions. ‘With Digital MCP we are expanding this clean
technology to provide clean
printing options for all major
market segments, including
flexible packaging, tag and
label, and post-print corrugated.
Our clean technology is proven
to increase quality and
consistency, enabling printers
and converters to stay
competitive with their print
methods.’
