Inhalt plates Steel Steel plates Polished steel plates Chrome steel plates (available on request) Steel plates are made of high-quality special steel (hardness approx. 65 Rc). The thickness of the steel plates normally is approx. 10 mm, though for smaller machines plates with a thickness of 6 or 8 mm can also be used. Because of the high abrasion resistance these plates are ideal for large print series. Teca-Print-steel plates are coated with a light-sensitive layer for etching. As special editions you can also get steel plates with a polished surface and steel plates with chrome steel...

Inhalt Ceramic plates Ceramic plates Ceramic plates are plates made only of ceramic. These offer an interesting alternative to the common plastic- and steel plates. They are usually used when a particularly long lifetime is required and only the slightest abrasion can be tolerated. The engraving is done by laser. The significantly deeper etch depth, that is possible with laser engraving, offers the transfer not only of ink but also other mediums such as glue or medias with high pigmentation. Ceramic plates are also perferable for abrasive transfer mediums. Name: U06 (thickness 06 mm) U10...
