A Hard Digital Plate For Ultimate Quality Graphics

MacDermid Digital Rave plates are the latest generation digital plates using advanced direct-to-plate technology, and developed using MacDermid’s solvent processing system.

Our Digital Rave plates’ laser ablative mask improves dot shape and extends image latitude,while also eliminating sources for dust and light diffusion, resulting in increased plate quality and consistency. Printers can expect to achieve significant reductions in dot gain on press, with minimal tonal correction required in the screening process. Highly durable and reliable, Digital Rave plates offer longer runs, less dot wear and reduced tack. Its high durometer reduces dot gain in screens and minimizes banding due to press bounce.

For exceptional direct-to-plate printing plates, count on the company that says “Yes We Can.”MacDermid.
