CHEMISTRY FOR METAL PLATES

 

    GraphLine Aqueous Metal Plate Negative Developer 

Use when immediate plate processing & printing are intended for either manual

or automatic processing.  Plates must be gummed with GraphLine plate gum if

not used immediately. Recommended for use on all negative or subtractive plates.

 

    GraphLine Aqueous Metal Plate Gum/Finisher 

To inhibit oxidation, use GraphLine Aqueous Metal Plate Gum/Finisher if plate is

to be stored for any amount of time.

 

    GraphLine Aqueous Metal Plate 2-in-1 Developer 

         This product develops and gums the plate in one easy step,  facilitating restarts.

 

    GraphLine Universal Fountain Solution 

         Non-glycerin alcohol base provides complete transfer of ink with minimum water

         absorption.  Use with rubber and oil-based ink for brilliant color reproduction

         and dark, dense blacks.

 

PLATE FINISHING CHEMICALS

    GraphLine Plate Cleaner/Scratch Remover

         Specially formulated for the GraphLine Aqueous Metal Plates. It provides excellent

         protection against many pressroom variables. Prevents even the deepest scratches

         from taking ink and insures quick ink removal. This formula desensitizes the plate

         and leaves a thin water receptive coating on the non-image area. Plates are free of

         scratches and scum and will be protected from oxidation.

 

 

    GraphLine Metal Plate Cleaner, Preserver, and Finisher

     o  Gentle on Plates

     o  Good desensitizing qualities

     o  Compatible with most metal plates

     o  Keeps non-image area water receptive

     o  Use as overnight or short term storage

     o  Use to clean and remove ink from plates, and/or stores plates

 

 SYSTEM CLEANER

o   Is designed to penetrate and lift residue and stains from the

surface to be cleaned & remove chemical build-up in processor.

o   Recommended for Rapid Access,  Litho and RC processors,      

stabilization,  imagesetting,  plate processors and is effective in

  tanks and trays.

o   1 to 1 Dilution (1 qt. system cleaner to 1 gal. water).
