What are the customer benefits?

Aluminium changes the size with increasing room

temperature : 1° C difference generates a shifting of

0,025 mm

Only 5° C difference will generate a register error of

nearly a dot for a screen ruling of 200 lpi (0.125 mm)!

Built-in temperature compensation

- unique feature !! :

guarantees that plate-remakes will have a perfect

register all the time

How to handle possible plate-remakes ?
