02Accurate results

As part of a high-quality packaging design, customers expect dense solids and fine screens, yet print defects like pinholing or dot gain remain common issues. Our plate mounting solutions offer a variety of foam hardness levels for optimal results no matter the print design.

03Reliable plate adhesion

Undisturbed print runs and high-quality results can only be achieved when plate edges don't lift during printing. Reliable adhesion is influenced by a number of factors, from the thickness or condition of plates to the manufacturing environment itself. It's also important to consider plate mounting processes and types of adhesives to ensure high performance on press. Our experts will advise you on what considerations must be taken into account to create a reliable bond.
