Exposure Parameters

Focus and power tests must be run to determine proper exposure parameters for each platesetter.
Handling Characteristics
LaserPoint II Thermal Ablative film can be handled in normal room light.
  • No Darkrooms

  • No Special Lighting

  • Solvent Resistant

  • Imaged with most Flexographic Platesetters

  • Image quality equal to best conventional film

Unique to LaserPoint II is that  it delivers a matte film in both the image and ablated (non-image) areas or can be converted to a clear (non-matte) film in the  ablated areas.  A matte film is essential during vacuum draw down to prevent air pockets from forming between the plate and the film interface in large ablated areas.
