A Water Washable Flexo Plate Designed For The Next Generation

AWP-DEW offers all the same benefits as the AWP-DEF plate, but with faster processing speeds for an even more efficient and effective flexo plate.

AWP™, Asahi’s latest development and a unique platemaking technology, is a beneficial alternative to conventional flexographic plates. It is a water washable plate technology that eliminates the need for high temperatures or VOC solvents in the washout process, delivering precise plate-to-plate registration with reduced odor in the plate making process. AWP™ CleanPrint plates save time and money, reduce waste and assist in preserving precious energy resources while delivering stunning quality with brilliant images.
