Asahi Kasei flexographic printing plates

Water-washable flexographic printing plates

The AWP™ printing plate embodies unprecedented plate technology and offers an alternative to conventional flexographic printing plates. The AWP™ is a water-washable printing plate that does not require high temperatures or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as solvents, ensures high register retention and enables low-odor production. It saves time and money, reduces waste and helps to conserve valuable energy resources. At the same time, it guarantees breathtaking quality with brilliant print images. It also ensures a longer service life in the printing press.

• Outstanding color transfer for maximum color coverage.
• Uniform panel reproduction for high register accuracy and consistency between jobs
• Reduced set-up effort with fast adjustment and predictability of colors due to high stability of the dots in the print
• Faster plate production compared to solvent-based printing plates
• Processing with only five minutes drying time at a lower temperature
• Outstanding panel stability due to production at low temperatures
