AB Graphic International will feature the latest developments in slitting, rewinding and web inspection machines at Drupa 2004.
Unlike tape Twinlock's surface is re-usable, claimed the company.
By simply cleaning the surface of the sleeve with a solvent, the polymer-based adhesion is reactivated and ready to hold the next set of printing plates.
Reactivating the tackiness of Twinlock can be done many times for several years.
Plates can be removed cleanly and easily without the risk of damage, added Polymount.
The company will also be showing a fully automated printing plate cleaner.
With the plate cleaner users can automatically clean dirty printing plates.
The plate cleaner flushes, brushes and dries the plates, resulting in a perfectly clean plate surface.
With the company's sticky plate system, plates are held firmly in place during washing and drying.
Cleaning takes between five-10 minutes.
After washing the plates can be stored immediately.
