Nanoporous coated, clear transparent polyester film for the production of positive or negative film separations that can then be contact exposed to silk screens, pad or flexo plates. The HD version offers even higher ink absorption and faster drying times and an even greater UV density range with the optimisation of print settings. Images dry super fast due to a highly porous coating ensuring print speeds are further optimised. The film meets the highest demands with regard to image registration accuracy, dimensional stability.
HP/RS is a version with removable white plastic strips for Hewlett Packard plotters equipped with optical sensors.

Compatibility |
Prerequisite for a high ink coverag (copy density) are printers, which allow settings for high resolution and high ink loads. These various settings are often not available with the usual driver settings and can often be made for screen use only in combination with special RIP tools.
Due to this reason, desktop printers (A4, A3) also often do not offer the desired coverage. Dependant on ink type dye ink can produce a migrating yellowing effect.

Handling |
Optimal between 15-30°C and 40-60% r.h. A preconditioning period of 24 hours within the printing environment is recommended.
Avoid fingerprints on printing side. For demanding halftone and separation work, we recommend special RIP-Software tools such as COLORGATE-Filmgate, WASATCH, PERFECTPROOF etc in combination with LF printers like EPSON Stylus pro (Ultrachrome Photoblack/K3-inks), HP Z-series & CANON iPF-series. For optimisation of halftones a linearization of the printer setting is essential Dye-based image areas (inkjet-printing) show a typical absorption spectrum. Therefore a correct density measurement is possible only with an ultraviolet densitometer (eg. X-Rite 369). For printers with two black inks, we recommend using Photo Black / Glossy Black. To prevent sticking to the screen emulsion during exposure we suggest lightly dusting with powder. Further information for handling is available in the separate document "Handling Guide" contained in our "internet downloads" section.
