MacDermid Printing Solutions has launched Digital MAX C, a new digital flexo plate designed specifically for coating and varnishing applications.
Digital MAX C is a product line extension of the company’s Digital MAX and is designed for in-line finishing in offset coating presses with flexo coating units and for offline finishing in coating presses.
‘The introduction of this new plate from MacDermid will help to broaden the capabilities of our customers by providing options to capture other business. Digital MAX C will serve as a complement to standard flexo print opportunities,’ said Heather Barrett, director of marketing.
Digital MAX C has a thicker PET backing than traditional Digital MAX, providing excellent registrations on coating stations. Digital MAX C, a 78 durometer plate, is ideally suited for various water based and UV coating applications.
The formulation allows for enhanced transfer capability with various specialty inks, varnishes, and spot and full coatings. Digital MAX C is also fully compatible with the LUX Platemaking Process for further enhancement of coating transfer with surface screening techniques. Additionally, Digital MAX C can be dual processed, either in conventional solvents or in a LAVA Thermal Platemaking System.
