Printing Conditions
Plate Material
 
  • Use an aluminum plate (PS plate)
  • CTP may also be used
  • Do not use a paper-based plate



  • Plate materials based on paper or polyester should be avoided, as it is difficult to drain water from them, triggering excessive emulsification of the ink. (If you plan to use such plates, consult with your plate manufacturer).
  • Compared to PS plates, CTP plates have somewhat lower water retention. When cleaning the plates, use of a gum cleaner is recommended.

Printing-Pressure Settings
  Please follow standard procedure when setting printing pressure. If ink transfer is unsatisfactory when following standard procedure, it may be that that the ink has over-emulsified as a result of excessive dampening water. If the ink condition is good and ink transfer is still unsatisfactory, lower printing pressure slightly (about 10% relative to paper thickness).
