Product Introduction
Processless Thermal Negative Plate for Offset Printing
Our latest innovation, Ecoo-G thermal plates, represents a breakthrough in printing technology. These plates are true process-less, meaning they do not require the traditional chemical processing steps usually involved in plate development. This eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, such as developers and fixers, which are not only costly but can also be harmful to both operators and the environment.
In addition, Ecoo-G plates do not require any extra equipment for processing, such as wash systems or drying units. This simplifies the printing process and significantly reduces energy consumption. By removing these steps, the technology not only saves valuable resources but also reduces the environmental footprint of printing operations.
Despite these advantages, Ecoo-G plates maintain optimum printing quality, ensuring that the results meet the high standards expected by our customers globally. This combination of enhanced efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability positions Ecoo-G as a leading solution in modern printing, offering both superior results and environmental protection.
Product Description:
1. Introduction of plates:
-The plate features a double-layer structure: the emulsion layer is applied directly onto the aluminum, while the protective layer sits on top of the emulsion layer.
-The emulsion layer uses negative photopolymerization/cross-linking, which can be exposed to wavelengths between 800-850nm. As a result, it is compatible with all thermal CTP systems designed to expose standard thermal plates; simply set the exposure parameters to "negative."
-The protective layer is made of a water-soluble polymer. It primarily serves to safeguard the highly sensitive emulsion layer (which requires low exposure energy) from damage. Therefore, it is crucial to keep the plate away from water, steam, or moisture, including sweat, to maintain its integrity.
2. Recommended application to press procedures of ECOO-G:
-Clean all the inks on the blanket:
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the printing blanket to remove any residual ink from previous print jobs. This ensures that there is no cross-contamination of colors or ink buildup that could affect print quality.
-Start the press machine, apply the water roller, run 30-40 seconds:
Start the press machine and engage the water roller, which applies a thin layer of dampening solution to the blanket. This helps control ink distribution and prevents unwanted ink adhesion to non-image areas of the plate. Run it for 30-40 seconds to ensure proper dampening.
-Apply the ink rollers 20-30 seconds:
After the dampening, engage the ink rollers to distribute ink evenly across the blanket. Running them for 20-30 seconds ensures that the ink is properly applied and prepared for a smooth transfer during printing.
-Apply the paper and start printing:
Finally, feed the paper into the press. As the press starts running, the inked blanket transfers the image to the paper, completing the printing process. This step ensures that the design or text is accurately and consistently imprinted onto the paper.
Remark: If operate step 2 and 3 longer, paper will be wasted less.
