Toyobo MC Corporation Launches Enhanced QMJT Printight Plate for Metal Decoration Exclusively Distributed in North America by Anderson & Vreeland, Inc.
Toyobo MC Corporation, a global pioneer in water-wash photopolymer printing technology, proudly introduces the next-generation QMJT Printight® plate - engineered specifically for metal-decoration applications. This advanced CTP (computer-to-plate) solution is now available exclusively in North America through Anderson & Vreeland, Inc.
Unlike other plates, Printight® is manufactured with less nylon. This unique formulation enhances washout speed, resolution, and durability—ensuring performance that printers can rely on job after job.
An Anderson & Vreeland, Inc. customer who made the switch to Printight stated, “We’ve been using the Printight® QM83JT plate in several of our production plants with strong success. The plate has delivered consistent, high-resolution print quality and proven durability—one plate achieved up to 3 million impressions after being cleaned and stored twice. The Printight® plate has become a reliable solution in our operations”.
Key Features & Benefits of QMJT Printight®:
Press Durability & Long Runs
Engineered for extended press life, reducing downtime and plate changeovers.
The JT type is specifically developed for high-resolution imaging combined with superior long-run durability.
Superb quality with unmatched economy on press.
Superior Resolution
Achieves 100–133 LPI with ease, more precise screen dots and letterforms for high-definition results, holding 2–3% isolated dots.
The new JT formula pushes even further, reliably holding 120 LPI down to a 1% dot.
Delivers sharp, repeatable quality time after time even with multi-color printing (4, 6, or 8 colors).
Superior Ink Release
Flat-top dot structure ensures ink stays on the surface—reducing dot gain and dot tipping.
Stable dot shape withstands press pressure, resulting in longer runs without degradation.
Efficient ink transfer minimizes consumption, lowering operating costs while maintaining consistent quality.
Printight® CTP QMJT is a steel-backed plate with built-in flat dots for CTP processing, and a 55 Shore D hardness. This plate is designed for rotary labels, metal deco, embossing and other applications with a screen range up to 200lpi (1 – 95%). Minimum fine line is 30 micron and minimum isolated dot is 200 micron.
