Product Description & Application
PlateSaver is a specialty desensitiser and substrate repair solution for treatment of scratches, abrasion and deleted areas of presensitised plates.
Features & Benefits
Strong desensitising agent. Alkaline solution.
Thoroughly desensitises and eliminates plate scratches in the non-image from getting reproduced in print for prolonged duration.
Effectively repairs and desensitises the plate substrate from the possibility of scum and catch-up in the deleted areas.
Does not contain strong acids or dichromates.
Prevents cancellation of plates that are otherwise irreparable.
Usage Instructions
Treatment of plate scratches
:
Clean/remove ink from the scratch/abrasion affected areas using PlateCleaner GP. Wash the area with water to completely remove the residue and buff down. Dry the affected areas thoroughly using a hair dryer. Apply PlateSaver using clean cotton or brush and work over the area. Buff lightly and dry completely with warm air from the drier. Apply a desensitising gum without wet washing the plate and restart printing.
Treatment of deleted areas
:
Wet wash the plate thoroughly to remove residue completely. Buff dry the plate and apply Plate Saver on the deleted areas using cotton wool. Buff down with a dry lint-free cloth. Apply a desensitising gum and start printing.
