For Exceptional Corrugated Board Image Performance
The AFP™-TPC and analogue AFP™-APC plates are developed for the high-quality corrugated board display and signage printing market where image quality matters. On double flute coated liner board, the plate delivers exceptional image performance with minimal dot gain and flute marking, thanks to CleanPrint technology. Switching to AFP™-APC / -TPC results in eye-catching print quality for shelf-ready packaging with rich graphical content.
Where Quality Matters
As brands and retailers shift toward shelf-ready packaging with high graphic content for corrugated applications, demand for improved print quality rises. AFP™-APC / -TPC plates meet this demand with reduced flute marks and high ink density in solid areas, thanks to excellent ink transfer.
CleanPrint for Corrugated Board
Available in both analogue and digital versions, AFP™-APC / -TPC plates are the first corrugated plates designed for high-quality screen printing with the CleanPrint feature tailored for corrugated applications.
Unique Polymer Structure
The AFP™-APC / -TPC plate has a unique polymer structure that reduces flute marks (wash board effect) and does not crush the corrugated board.
Sharp Images, Less Flute Marks
AFP™-APC / -TPC plates outperform conventional plates in corrugated printing. With low dot gain and minimal flute marking throughout the run, they deliver sharp images and exceptionally clean fine text.
