SF-DGS Digital Flexo Plates

Soft Durometer, Less Washboard
SF-DGS is the new digital sheet photopolymer,which is softer and lower durometer compared to SF-DGT, perfect adaptation to corrugated board surfaces and reduces washboard effect. SF-DGS sheet photopolymer has fine resolution, imaging capability and will work over a broad range of substrates and applications. Ink transfer is enhanced, delivering extremely smooth solids and crisp, clean running process.

Requires minimum impression settings, giving good balance between solids and screens
Advantage

Superior printing quality with sharper images, more open intermediate depths, finer highlight dots and less dot gain, i.e. larger range of tonal values therefore improved contrast and produce flat top dots when adequate process equipment are used

High resilience and good resistance towards mechanical impacts deliver excellent durability

Increased productivity and data transfer without loss of quality due to digital workflow

Excellent ink transfer using water and alcohol-based inks

Cost effective and more environmentally friendly in processing, as no film is required

Suitable for corrugated post printing and other paper substrates
