Material Handling
Observe the following when handling printing plates:
• Never touch the emulsion side of the printing plate with your bare hands.
Finger prints will appear on the printing plate which can adversely affect
the print quality.
• The printing plates are very easily scratched. For that reason, it is essen-
tial to insert slip sheets when you place printing plates on top of each
other, so that they cannot scrape against each other.
• Do not load plates that are obviously damaged to the Suprasetter. This
can cause malfunctions in the Suprasetter.
Material storage
Various requirements apply to the storage of printing plates prior to imaging,
after imaging and after development. Please refer to the manufacturer of the
printing plates for information.
Caution
Risk of injury from improper handling
Plate edges can be sharp. Put on protective gloves. This will
protect you from injury.
