FASTER PLATEMAKING + LESS INK CONSUMPTION = INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY ​CleanPrint plates from Asahi Photoproducts have been specifically engineered by Asahi’s chemical engineers to transfer all remaining ink to the printed substrate, reducing makeready time and ink consumption while delivering exceptional quality. CleanPrint plates come up to color faster and do not need to be cleaned as often as conventional digital solvent plates. Reduction of makeready times combined with fewer press stops for plate cleaning reduces substrate waste and creates a significant productivity improvement.

FIXED COLOR PALETTE = INCREASED EFFICIENCY UP TO 85% The precise register of CleanPrint plates are perfect for a fixed color palette printing technique using a fixed sequence of colors on press. Experience informs us that this technique can significantly increase efficiency from 50% to 85% by eliminating press cleaning between jobs. Using a fixed palette of inks also makes it easier to gang jobs for more efficient use of plates and substrates, improving time to market even more.

INCREASE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS BY 30% OR MORE CleanPrint plates have been proven to deliver 30% or more improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and up to 50% reduction in makeready time across a number of companies using these plates. This means that packaging printers/converters can produce more work per shift, increasing press uptime, reducing waste and driving cost improvements that can enhance the bottom line or be passed along to customers.

FEWER VOCs = SAFER, CLEANER & MORE SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT CleanPrint plates have been proven to deliver 30% or more improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and up to 50% reduction in makeready time across a number of companies using these plates. This means that packaging printers/converters can produce more work per shift, increasing press uptime, reducing waste and driving cost improvements that can enhance the bottom line or be passed along to customers.

USE CLEANPRINT FOR ALMOST ANY APPLICATION CleanPrint was originally introduced with Asahi AWP™ water-washable plates and is now being migrated to other plate families as well, ensuring that CleanPrint™ plates will be available for the widest possible variety of printing needs.
