negative UV CTP plate for Basys print CTCP machine

Developer: Kodak Goldstar Premium plate developer 100%

Develop temperature: 22-24℃

Develop time: 30-35 seconds.

Finishing: KG-2, KG-2S

To increase the hydrophilicity of the non-image area and prevent the plate from fingerprint and other contamination, you should use gum solution

(KG-2 or KG-2S, 8%-11% made by Gum Arabic) immediately after image removing. Wipe the gum solution on the developed plate and dry it.

Gum solutions made by synthetic polymer are difficult to wash away before printing and result in poor roll-up performance.

Deletion: KM-7(Gel), KM-1 & KM-2 (Pen)

To remove the unwanted image on non-image area, you can use Image remover gel KM-7 or Deletion Pen KM-1,KM-2. Apply the image

Remover on the dry plate for about 10 seconds and wipe off the residue. The residue on the plate will decrease the run-length. Using Phoeneagle Deletion Pen will minimize the side effects to the plates.

Baking: KB-3

Remove unwanted image from plate with Deletion Pen, wipe the plate with bake solution(KB-3) and heat at 220℃ for minutes. Before printing, treat the baked plate with developer for 30 seconds, wash with water thoroughly and then gumming.
