FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between analog and digital flexo plates?

Digital plates (CTP) are imaged directly by laser — no film needed, faster turnaround, higher consistency. Analog plates require a film negative for UV exposure. This 2.28mm plate supports both digital and analog workflows, giving you maximum flexibility.

Q2: Why choose 2.28mm thickness for labels and folding cartons?

2.28mm offers a versatile balance between the thin 1.7mm (for film & labels) and the thicker 2.84mm (for bags & napkins). Its Shore A 56–58 durometer provides solid ink coverage on smooth substrates like labels, while the 1.0–1.2 mm relief depth handles light-texture cartons and flexible packaging.

Q3: Can I use UV ink with this plate?

No. The 2.28mm plate is compatible with water-based and alcohol-based inks only. UV ink is not compatible with this plate. Using incompatible ink may cause plate swelling or permanent damage.For UV ink applications, consider our 1.7mm digital plate which supports UV ink.

Q4: What equipment do I need to process this plate?

You need a flexo plate-making machine compatible with 2.28mm thickness. Bowin supplies a full range of solvent-based plate processors — from the compact BW-400 to the industrial BW-2100. View our plate-making machines →

Q5: Are free samples available?

Yes! Free samples are available for qualified buyers to test on their own presses before placing a production order. This ensures the plate performs optimally with your substrate, ink system, and press configuration.

Q6: What is the lead time for this plate?

Standard sizes typically ship within 7–15 days after order confirmation. Custom sizes or large-volume orders may require additional time. Contact us for a precise delivery schedule.
