Storage
Store unexposed plates in a place with a temperature between 4 and 32°C, away from a direct source of heat.
Boxes and plates must be stored in a horizontal position. Do not expose to direct sunlight, ultraviolet radiation or environments with high concentrations of ozone.
Plate-making Process
Back exposure
Expose the plate through the back to establish the floor. Vary the back exposure time according to relief required. A proper relief helps the formation of a fine graphics.
Image Copy
Remove the protective coversheet, and image the selected file onto the black layer plate with the digital imager device.
Main Exhibition
Expose the plate through the negative generated in the black layer to form image.
Washout
Use any safe-solvent solutions or other environmentally safe solution to remove the unexposed photopolymer.
Drying
After washing, dry the plate in a vented hot oven (60°C) to remove the residual solvent. It is recommend that the plate be allowed to set aside at room temperature for 12 hours till return to the original thickness.
Post-Exposure
Post expose the plate under the UV lamps to fully cure the plate to strength.
Finish
Finish the plate under UVC light to eliminate surface tackiness.
