Basic Ink Types

Notes:  This is only a basic summary of Capex's most popular inks with descriptions for popular usage. Many specialty ink series and clear coats fill in the blanks.

Each series has its own thinner, and when changing series, the print rollers must be cleaned and conditioned thoroughly with the corresponding thinner.  Proper conditioning is necessary for optimal printing results. Always test a small amount of ink to determine best results, as results may vary according to machine. All inks exhibit minimum 6-month shelf life.  Metallic UV inks are generally offered in 2-part formulations to maximize shelf life.

PhotoPolymer Platemakers

Capex Corporation is a supplier of the easiest to operate plate making systems in the world.  These user friendly systems have everything needed for the production of high quality, inexpensive printing plates for a broad range of printing processes.

Capex Plate Makers have an exposure unit, washout tank, and a drying oven with two drying racks.  The complete plate making process can be controlled through an easy to use PLC interface, which stores processing times to help users produce consistent, high quality printing plates every time.

The Benefits are:

• Quick – press ready plates in about 15 minutes
• Safe – no harmful solvents or hazardous waste
• Simple – very easy to use and maintain
• Cost Effective – nothing costs you more than downtime!

When you have a Capex Plate Maker you will never have to wait for printing plates again!

To produce a photo-polymer plate, a previously prepared negative is used with the photo-polymer material and placed in the exposure unit. The negative is held in place by a vacuum and a cover sheet. UV lamps expose the image onto the plate material. The exposed plate material is then separated from the negative and placed onto the plate support in the washout tank. A motor agitates the plate support causing the plate to come in contact with a brush. This action removes any unexposed photo-polymer which is dissolved by the water. The remaining material is the image to be printed.

The plate is then placed into the dryer where any remaining water is removed and final hardening of the plate takes place. Finally the plate is exposed for a second time to finish the surface. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes.

Models are available for plate sizes up to a maximum of 19.6" x 29.9" (500mm x 760mm).
