特性
Razor-sharp results
Avatar T-CF provides photorealistic image quality up to 200 lpi (1,200/1,270 dpi) or higher, depending on your platesetter type. Its protective overcoat prevents oxidation and eliminates ablation, guaranteeing durability and low maintenance.
Productivity made simple
A highly sensitive printing plate, Avatar T-CF is designed to handle print runs of up to 350,000 copies. It combines fast, accurate and wide-latitude plate exposure with simple processing and robustness.
Robust and durable
Avatar T-CF allows for coldset and low-power UV printing (with a run length of up to 75,000 revolutions). Its highlight dots are tough enough to offer a high-quality press performance even on the longest press runs.
Optimal convenience
While Avatar T-CF’s robust and scratch-resistant surface allows for easy handling, its strong image contrast supports simple visual inspection and quality control, ensuring plates are mounted on press correctly. The plate supports all kind of vision bender and barcode reader in the punch & bending and stacking area.
ECO3 innovation
Committed to sustainable innovation that targets ecology, economy and extra convenience (ECO3), Agfa aims at developing cleaner and cost-effective solutions that are easy to operate and maintain, both for chemistry-free and conventional systems.
Avatar T-CF is a prime example of this philosophy, requiring only small quantities of concentrated or diluted clean-out gum – when combined with the Adamas COU clean-out series. The result? No use of water, decreased waste production, lower disposal costs and a safer work environment.
Patented ThermoLink technology
As a cutting-edge photopolymer plate, Avatar T-CF is based on Agfa’s patented ThermoLink technology. Thanks to the ThermoLink technology, the plate compounds are cross-linked without pre-heating, resulting in robustness, high image quality and optimal press performance. This swift polymerization process also ensures a predictable, low dot gain, making Avatar T-CF similar to a linear plate.
