Print Plate Making

Printing processes use printing plates to transfer an image to paper or other substrates. The plates may be made of metal, plastic, rubber, paper, and other materials. During this print plate making the image is put on the printing plates using photomechanical, photochemical, or laser engraving processes. The image may be positive or negative.

After the print plate making, printing plates are attached to a cylinder in the press. Ink is applied to the plate's image area and transferred directly to the paper or to an intermediary cylinder and then to the paper.

Accu-Graphics offer print plate making for all types of digital flexo plates including photopolymer plates, and other rubber printing plates for label printing as well as corrugated printing.
