Patented new technology! Improving the operational efficiency of printing machines!
A-SPEC coating is a new technology that forms a thin film special coating on the surface of the resin plate, preventing the accumulation of excess ink! Three major benefits of A-SPEC coating: 【Improved Printing Machine Operating Rate】 The startup time of the printing machine is reduced, and the loss from cleaning the plate during printing is minimized, allowing for continuous operation. The downtime of the printing machine is shortened, which improves the operating rate and increases productivity. It also reduces unnecessary losses of printed materials. 【Printing Quality】 Ink clogging in recessed areas such as fine text, thin lines, and halftone dots is dramatically reduced. Since ink accumulation on the plate is prevented, stable printing quality can be maintained for a long time right after the printing starts. 【Improved Plate Cleanability】 Ink residue on the plate surface is prevented, significantly reducing the cleaning work after printing. Additionally, the amount of cleaning solvent used can be reduced, contributing to environmental measures. ★ For detailed examples, please refer to the catalog.

basic information
In various industries that use resin plates, such as surface printing (dry offset) and letterpress, the trend towards small lot production of diverse varieties has been advancing, and there is a growing demand for further improvements in the productivity of printing machines. The non-operating time of printing machines due to frequent plate changes and plate cleaning is a significant issue from the perspective of cost reduction. On the other hand, the desired level of print quality continues to become more advanced. Maintaining stable print quality is also extremely important. Additionally, recent environmental protection regulations suggest a move towards eliminating VOCs, and a reduction in the use of organic solvents for plate cleaning and other processes is desired. These issues have been considered difficult to effectively improve due to the nature of the printing method that applies pressure using relief plates. Accumulated excess ink can cause issues such as thickening of characters, which degrades print quality. Therefore, to maintain stable print quality, it has been necessary to periodically stop the printing machine to remove excess residual ink from the plate surface.

Applications/Examples of results
A very thin special coating film at the nm level is formed on the surface of resin plates used in surface printing (dry offset) and letterpress. 【Improvement of Printing Machine Operating Rate】 The startup time of the printing machine is reduced, and the loss from washing the plates during printing is minimized, allowing for continuous operation. The downtime of the printing machine is shortened, which improves the operating rate and increases productivity. Waste from printed materials is also reduced. 【Printing Quality】 High printing quality is maintained stably for a long time right after the printing starts. 【Improvement of Plate Cleanability】 The plate cleaning process after printing is significantly reduced. The amount of cleaning solvent used can be decreased.
