Select for the plate and processor
Use current plate manufacturer data, processor model, temperature, speed and replenishment method. One developer cannot be assumed compatible with every plate.
OFFSET / PREPRESS
Offset Plate Chemicals for CtP and CtCP Workflows
Reliable plate processing requires chemistry matched to the plate, exposure, processor, bath control and production load.
Control the entire process
Bath activity, temperature, brushes, rinsing, exposure and downtime all influence the result. Record settings before a product trial.
Current SOFITECH range
The English catalogue includes dedicated CtP developers, a plate-processor bath cleaner and a gumming solution. Exact availability and formats are confirmed on enquiry.
SELECTION PROTOCOL
How we approach this application
Data required for a reliable recommendation
Send the process, material, contamination, equipment, current procedure, required result, volume, packaging and documentation needs. This separates chemical selection from mechanical or procedural issues.
Controlled trial before implementation
Change one variable at a time: concentration, contact time, temperature or mechanical action. Assess the final result after drying, rinsing or restarting production, not only during application.
Documentation and safe use
Before B2B implementation, confirm current SDS/TDS, PPE, storage conditions, material compatibility and waste-handling rules for the exact product and market.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell ready-to-use and concentrated developers?
Available formats depend on the product and market. Contact us with your plate, processor and expected volume.
What should be checked during a trial?
Evaluate clean non-image areas, image reproduction, bath stability, processor condition and plate performance on press.
Discuss your application
Send the application, product type, market, packaging, documentation needs and expected volume. We will confirm the most relevant next step.
