AFP BFTK 170

Asahi’s first FlatTop plate out of the box including CleanPrint

The Asahi AFP™-BFTK 170 plate is the only FlatTop plate in the market that features premium CleanPrint, enabling kiss-touch printing pressure and a clean print. Lighter printing pressure brings constant repeatability of printing quality during the production run as well as longer plate life. This characteristic is achieved with a unique Asahi-engineered photopolymer chemistry that reduces the surface energy of the printing plate and enables better ink transfer to the substrate during printing.

AFP™-BFTK plate fits seamlessly into existing customer environments without the need for additional equipment investments or process changes

  • • Hard FlatTop photopolymer plate allowing advanced solid ink homogeneity
    in printing in combination with solid micro cell screening technologies.
    • Implementation does not require workflow change and can utilize existing
    equipment.
    • Deliver smooth tonal transitions with combination of good highlight dots
    and solids.
    • Allows job transfer from other printing technologies to flexo, increasing
    versatility for flexographic printing operations.
    • Plates are compatible with solvent-, water- and most UV-based inks.
    • Improves productivity and OEE due to significantly fewer press stops for
    plate cleaning.
