MacDermid Graphics Solutions has launched LUX ITP EDGE, an In-The-Plate flat-top dot plate for the post-print corrugated print sector.
According to the company, the dot structure of LUX ITP EDGE reduces fluting without the use of additional platemaking techniques or exposure systems.
The plate is designed to print high-quality images on post-print corrugated with near 1:1 reproduction up to 120lpi and proven results with minimal bump requirements up to 150lpi. It can print retail-ready packaging featuring high-end graphics with fine highlight dots on corrugated surfaces.
‘LUX ITP EDGE is a culmination of multiple innovations from MacDermid with LUX ITP flat-top dots, anti-fluting technology, and our patented clean plate technology. This new plate meets a need of today’s market to produce high-quality graphics for retail-ready packaging,’ said Dan Fry, corrugated portfolio manager at MacDermid.
The plate is formulated with MacDermid’s patented clean plate technology, which reduces the number of press stops and ensures a cleaner print with better ink laydown.
