Eclipse Pro

No process-free is easier to work with than Eclipse Pro. Not only because of its great contrast and scratch resistance, but also due to its generous print latitude that allows quicker press start-ups and restarts in a broader range of printing conditions. Eclipse Pro requires no major changes to the existing setup; just drop into the existing workflow, making it a very convenient choice for many printing facilities. Convenience is further enhanced by the plate’s ability to print with conventional and H-UV/LED-UV inks, giving printers increased flexibility in daily production.

Eclipse Pro retains its great contrast even after 24 hours in office light, making an enormous difference compared to the two hours of other process-free plates. It means you don’t need to store your plates in their box or in otherwise dark conditions – both of which are inconvenient and time-consuming operations. During this period, print quality will be fully preserved in terms of dot gain, toning, start-up time,…

Eclipse Pro offers excellent and stable image contrast for a longer period of time, even when exposed to office light for up to 24 hours (or a week in a dark box), thanks to ECO3’s unique and irreversible color-forming mechanism. The outstanding contrast provides a clear and distinct image, making visual inspection and recognition by punch & bending and barcode systems more efficient, while the image contrast stability saves on the time normally spent putting plates away in storage. The great contrast also helps operators mount plates correctly on the press, thereby avoiding costly mistakes or plate remakes.

With a highly robust surface, the plate is better protected through its journey from box to cassette or loader and onto the press, making handling easy and guaranteeing high print quality, every time. Printers experience less costly downtime and plate remakes caused by fine scratches that are most often not detected until the press is running. The result is higher productivity, better quality, and less waste.
