Flexible Resin Plate
High-Precision Photopolymer Plate for Flexographic Printing
Flexible Resin Plate
Flexible Resin Plate, Photopolymer Plate, Flexo Plate, Flexographic Printing, Water-Based Ink Plate
The Flexible Resin Plate is a high-performance photopolymer plate developed for flexographic printing applications, offering superior flexibility, precise image reproduction, and chemical resistance.
It is suitable for water-based and alcohol-based inks, providing excellent printing stability and durability. However, it is not recommended for oil-based inks or hydrocarbon solvents, and UV inks require compatibility testing before use.
With consistent plate thickness, excellent elasticity, and stable ink transfer, the flexible resin plate ensures clean, sharp prints across a wide range of substrates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of inks are compatible with flexible resin plates?
Which types of inks are compatible with flexible resin plates?
Can these plates be used for oil-based printing?
No, oil-based inks and hydrocarbon solvents may damage the resin layer and affect image quality.
How should the plates be stored?
Keep plates in a cool, dry, and UV-protected environment (18–25°C, 50–65% RH) to maintain elasticity and photosensitivity.
What is the typical service life of a resin plate?
Under standard press conditions, plates can last over 500,000 impressions, depending on ink type and substrate.
