Asahi's AFP™-TSP is a medium hardness digital flexographic printing plate optimized for a wide range of packaging substrates, from paper and folding carton to corrugated board, flexible packaging and film. Asahi's AFP™-TSP was developed with the aim of ensuring homogeneous color lay for both printed lines and solids. It is suitable for halftone and solid printing. In combination with the AFP™-TOP printing plate, fine, smooth gradients towards zero are achieved. This expands the range of applications that can be transferred from other printing processes to flexographic printing.
AFP™ TSP
Features
- Combination panel for halftones and full tones with homogeneous color layering for both lines and full tones.
- Includes Pinning Technology for Clean Transfer for outstanding ink transfer, higher quality, less cleaning-related machine downtime and optimized overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
- Ideal for use with solvent and water-based paints on films and paper.
- High abrasion resistance of the printing plate with good material adhesion of the base film to the polymer and excellent suitability for aggressive printing conditions.
- Support of newer screening and microcell technologies as well as existing workflows for the production of solvent plates without investment in additional equipment
