fotopolymerista

Fotopolymerista refers to a type of printing plate used in flexographic printing. These plates are made of photopolymer material, which means they can be cured and hardened by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. The process of creating a fotopolymerista plate involves exposing a light-sensitive photopolymer material to a negative film or digital image. Where the light strikes the photopolymer, it cures and solidifies, forming the raised image areas that will transfer ink. Areas not exposed to light remain soft and are washed away, leaving a relief pattern on the plate.

Fotopolymerista plates offer several advantages in printing. They can achieve very fine detail and high line screens, resulting in sharp and clear images. They are also known for their durability and ability to withstand long print runs. The flexibility of the photopolymer material allows them to conform to the curved surfaces of printing cylinders, which is essential in flexography. This type of plate is widely used in the packaging industry for printing on flexible films, labels, paper, and corrugated board. The ability to create precise and durable printing plates makes fotopolymerista a key component in modern flexographic printing processes.
