Plate processing
Plate developers, gumming products and processor-cleaning chemistry should be selected for the plate system, processor and documented working parameters.
PRINT CARE / OFFSET
Offset Printing Chemicals for Professional Pressrooms
A focused range for offset prepress and pressroom workflows—from plate chemistry and dampening support to professional cleaning and maintenance.
Dampening and fountain solutions
Stable offset printing depends on water quality, temperature, conductivity, dosing and system hygiene—not on pH alone.
Blankets, rollers and pressroom cleaning
Cleaning chemistry must match the ink system, application method and materials in the press. Confirm compatibility before changing an established procedure.
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 offer CtP plate developers?
Yes. The current English catalogue includes professional CtP plate-processing products. Compatibility must be confirmed for the specific plate and processor.
Can one wash be used for conventional and UV inks?
Not automatically. Different binder systems may require different chemistry, and material compatibility must also be checked.
