Printing properties for INNOVA 41H Log roll
The choice of the appropriate hardness depends primarily on the ink coverage of the printing plate. A mix of fine lines, solids and halftones with around 20-80% ink coverage requires a medium Plate Mounting Tape like Innova 41H. But for anything above 80%, it is recommended to use Innova 42H. Innova 41H is one level softer than the Innova 42H. However, we also suggest taking a look at the printing plate type. Hard printing plates may require softer tape, while other factors are the substrate and ink viscosity. On coated paper, for example, medium tapes will provide the best results. But with most label stock filmic materials, it is safer to use Innova 41H. As you know, Flexo Printing has few standards; we recommend a fingerprint test. A fingerprint test is the most scientific way to get to the right combination.
