KODAK ELECTRA MAX

The high-performance, no-compromise plate. Maximum UV performance UV, H-UV, and LED-UV have many benefits for commercial and packaging printers, but it can be challenging to find a plate that stands up to UV’s aggressive press chemicals, abrasive stocks and UV inks. KODAK ELECTRA MAX Thermal Plates were designed specifically to deliver long run lengths in UV applications, up to 150,000 impressions unbaked. So printers can get all the benefits of UV without sacrificing plate performance.

Maximum unbaked run lengths
ELECTRA MAX Plates also deliver long unbaked run lengths for traditional sheetfed and web applications. Eliminating preheating and postbaking saves time, reduces energy usage, and improves overall efficiency in prepress, and long run lengths on press help printers increase their productivity and profitability. ELECTRA MAX Plates can also be postbaked at low temperatures to maximize run length performance with difficult press conditions or applications.

Maximum resolution and robustness
The high resolution capabilities of ELECTRA MAX Plates help printers deliver outstanding print quality and the sharp detail will impress both print buyers and consumers. The durability of the plate ensures dot stability throughout the press run, reducing plate remakes and variation.

Maximum sustainability
Truly sustainable solutions are the ones that reduce environmental impact and costs while maintaining high product performance. With competitive developer cycles, low chemistry usage,* and with no need for an expensive, new plate processor, ELECTRA MAX Plates help printers reduce the cost and environmental impact of plate processing. Also, printers can reduce energy usage by eliminating preheating, and the plate’s long unbaked run length capability can reduce the need for postbaking.
