Water-washable plates – premium plate with CleanPrint
This water-washable plate is ideal for highest quality flexo applications, including flexible packaging and labels. It features CleanPrint technology for sustainable reduction of the printer’s carbon footprint.
CleanPrint for More Sustainable Flexographic Printing
AWP™-DEW flexographic plates feature Asahi’s CleanPrint technology. CleanPrint flexographic plates from Asahi Photoproducts have been specifically developed by our chemical engineers to transfer all remaining ink to the printed substrate, reducing press stops for plate cleaning while delivering exceptional consistent quality throughout the entire run. This results in higher quality, less waste, and improvement in OEE!.
Best Quality, Zero Solvent! Water-Washable Plates
Perfect for high-quality flexo applications such as flexible packaging and labels, this plate offers a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to VOC solvent processing. Featuring CleanPrint technology, it helps reduce the printer’s carbon footprint while maintaining top print performance.
Preserving Precious Resources
AWP™-DEW water-washable plates provide many benefits that combine to bring flexographic printing more in harmony with the environment, preserving precious energy and natural resources while delivering excellent press performance and vibrant images.
The Future of Flexography
AWP™-DEW is Asahi´s best-in-class performer in combination with UV-, water- and solvent-based inks with no plate lift-off, helping to handle plate mounting very easily also on smaller diameter printing cylinders.
The Home of EGP Printing
As Expanded Gamut printing (EGP) gains broader acceptance in the flexographic market, plates with precise registration and stable print quality are required. AWP™-DEW plates, the home of Fixed Colour Palette printing, meet this demand, as the plate production process is free of VOC solvents and high ambient temparatures which are proven to be responsible for plate dimension changes.
Superior OEE, Superior Quality
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a critical metric for profitable flexographic printing opera tions. CleanPrint plates deliver up to 33% improve ment in OEE over other plates, driving up availability, performance and quality like no other.
