Chemistry Free Waterless Printing Plates - PearlDry
Waterless presses print cleaner, sharper images with less dot gain, and greater consistency. PearlDry plates enhance waterless printing by providing high-resolution, stability, and excellent inking characteristics in a daylight safe chemistry-free environment.
PearlDry plates enable waterless printers to fully realize the accuracy and efficiency of digital CTP by utilizing thermal laser imaging – a filmless, chemistry-free, daylight-safe process that produces sharp, extremely well defined images for superior on-press performance.
PearlDry eliminates the hazardous waste materials normally associated with lithographic plate production. Non-photographic, PearlDry plates eliminate the disposal problems and costs resulting from the heavy metals and chemicals of film-based procedures. Plus, the elimination of alcohol-based press dampening systems is a major factor in reducing pressroom emissions through waterless printing. Waterless printing with PearlDry plates is a key component in your environmental strategy. Key features include:
- 800 to 1200 nm spectral sensitivity
- Daylight-safe
- No chemical processing
- No gumming or baking
- High resolution
- Environmentally friendly
- Improved pressroom performance
