From absorbent paper substrates such as pre-printed liner, paper and carton board to non-absorbent fi lm and label materials. Asahi’s AFP-TSP incorporates the »Pinning Top Dot« Technology, which allows a kiss touch printing pressure setting with constant repeatability of printing quality during the production run. The »Pinning Top Dot« Technology also reduces the ink infi ll in the midtone area during the length of the printing run, leading to fewer cleaning intervals and press stop downtimes for the printer. Asahi’s AFP-TSP plate was developed to achieve a fi rm homogeneous ink density on printed lines and solids and staying clean and open over the printing run in halftone screens. The AFP-TSP plate is the perfect combination for halftone and solid printing and is part of the same polymer family as the harder AFP-TOP plate. By using AFP-TOP; which is able to provide a fi ne, smooth gradation towards zero and combining it with the homogenous ink coverage of fi ne lines, bar codes and solids capable with AFP-TSP, it is possible to transfer jobs to fl exography from other technologies that deliver very challenging, high demanding quality. The Asahi’s AFP-TSP plate is a product solution, which can easily be fi tted into existing customer environments without the need of additional machine investment. This fl exibility enables the customer to react to changing market needs and keep their business environment sustainable. The AFP-TSP is compatible with solvent, water and most UV based inks. Furthermore it can be used with the high defi nition screening and microcell patterning technologies.
AWP™-CleanFlat is a water-washable FlatTop plate solution with high-quality printing press consistency. It improves the ink laydown on wide web flexible
packaging and beverage carton printing. At the same time it delivers a sustainable reduction of the printer’s carbon footprint. It´s flat, but certainly not boring!
Asahi‘s AWP DEF incorporates the »Pinning Top Dot« Technology, which allows a kiss touch printing pressure setting with constant repeatability of printing quality during the production run.The »Pinning Technology« is also reducing the ink fi lling-in in the mid-tone area over the printing run leading to fewer cleaning intervals and press stop downtimes for the printer. Asahi‘s AFP-TOP plate was developed for the high quality fi lm, coated paper and label printing application using solvent, water and UV based inks with the objective of transferring printing jobs from other printing technologies to fl exography. The Asahi‘s AWP DEF plate is a product solution, which can easily be fi tted into existing customer environments without the need of additional machine investment. This fl exibility enables the customer to react to changing market needs and keeping their business environment sustainable. The Asahi‘s AWP DEF is compatible with many of the recent high defi nition screening and microcell patterning technologies.
Asahi AWP-DEW water-washable plate is ideal for highest quality flexo applications, including flexible packaging and labels. It features CleanPrint technology for sustainable reduction of the printer’s carbon footprint. The plate was developed to move away from VOC solvent plate processing by offering a “cleaner” alternative to the flexo industry.
AWP™-DEW water-washable plates provide many benefits that combine to bring flexographic printing more in harmony with the environment, preserving precious energy and natural resources while delivering excellent press performance and vibrant images.
