ADONIS

World's most robust Negative Thermal CtP Plate

Adonis is the most robust thermal digital plate used for high-end long-run printing applications. It is manufactured by TechNova in technical collaboration with Agfa-Gevaert N.V. It is designed for high­ resolution, extra long-runs without baking and unmatched in its UV-ink run-length capability. Adonis is the most preferred thermal plate for long-run and UV ink printing in packaging Et commercial print segments and for "Green" printing using alcohol-free founts.

    • Ideally suited for long-run UV-ink printing without post-baking
    • Fully compatible with alcohol-free founts; enables to "Go Green" without the fear of plate failures
    • Suitable for high quality applications and stochastic screening
    • Fast clean-up properties on the press; minimises start-up waste Et machine downtime
    • Excellent dampening latitude; allows high ink density and low damp levels
    • Accredited for use with all the leading brands of thermal plate-setters Et violet processors with preheat
    • Storage Et Handling:10°C to 25°C; 40% to 60% RH. If the storage temperature differs significantly from plateroom temperature, the plates should be acclimatised in their original package for at least 12 hours before unpacking and processing the plates. Always open the package under recommended safe light.
    • Recommended plateroom : Operating temperatures 23°C (±2°C); 40% to 70% RH. conditions
    • Shelf-life : 24 months (from date of manufacturing) under recommended storage conditions
