Application
The EcooGraphix ECOO-G is an innovative, eco-friendly Development On Press (DOP) CTP plate. After imaging, it can be placed directly on the printing press, eliminating the need for chemical processing.
Recommended press procedure for ECOO-G:
Thoroughly clean ink residues from the blanket.
Start the press and engage the water roller for 30–40 seconds.
Activate the ink rollers for 20–30 seconds.
Feed paper and begin printing.
Note: Extending steps 2 and 3 helps reduce paper waste.

Characteristics
The ECOO-G plate features a double-layer structure:
The emulsion layer is non-water-soluble, ensuring it does not mix with the fountain solution.
The protective layer is water-soluble and dissolves quickly into the fountain solution, enabling smooth press performance.
