SF-DFT Digital Flexo Plates

Built-in Flat Top Dots
The SF-DFT Thermal Standard Flexo Printing Plate is a hard hardness digital printing plate featuring Strong's revolutionary built-in flat-top dot technology. It provides the convenience of flat-top dots right out of the box, with no additional platemaking steps or equipment required to achieve flat-top dots. It offers near 1:1 mask-to-plate imaging capability, eliminating the need for concave and convex curves, which will help printers expand the available color gamut and print smaller dots. It is a durable and very low-tack plate, ideal for long-running, clean print jobs.
