Flint Group nyloprint® digital

Now you can also benefit from the advantages of digital plate processing (computer-to-plate technology) in letterpress:

  • filmless, digital data transfer
  • elimination of potential processing faults caused by the use of negative film
  • smaller, more uniform halftone dots with steeper shoulder profiles can be formed

Available on polyester (nyloprint® WF-HD) and on steel base (nyloprint® WS-D). Similar to our digital nyloflex® printing plates, they can be processed on all commercially available digital imaging devices.
