Elastomeric Printing Plates and Sleeves

Elastomeric (EPDM rubber) printing plates and sleeves, which popularized flexography and were later forgotten, are returning to the market. Compared to photopolymers, elastomers have a higher chemical resistance, which is why such printing forms are used for particularly long print runs using aggressive varnishes.

Continuous coating sleeves can be engraved with a special microstructure that allows the optical density of printed inks to be increased so that one ink coating replaces two separate ink coatings.

Linescreen up to 150 lpi
High resistance to aggressive varnishes and adhesives (ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, etc.)
Long service life – up to 2,000,000 print meters
