Ecological Approach and Economical Choice

Kimoplate e² is a non-sensitized polyester printing plate from Kimoto, a world leader in coating technology. It has been developed to be imaged exclusively on the Kimosetter. The product concept is economy (saving cost, improving profit) and ecology (non-chemical, minimizing waste). 
The two e’s come from the initials of these key concepts. 

Chemical free polyester plate

Kimoplate e2 requires no special chemicals, etch or fountain solution and does not require post fusing. The plate is ready straight from the Kimosetter 410. This environmentally friendly approach enables operators or designers to work in studio conditions.

Clean background

Kimoplate e2 is free from background toning.

Excellent stability

The polyester base is 0.125mm (0.005in) thick, the same as most pre-sensitized metal plates, and is more stable than 0.100mm (0.004in) laser plates. Its excellent dimensional stability ensures accurate image size and good registration of spot color work.

Fast recovery

When restarting after a stop, just wipe the plate surface with clean water or fountain solution; Kimoplate e2 recovers very quickly.

Fountain solution and inks

Kimoplate e2 is compatible with most fountain solutions (including Silver Master and electrostatic) and will run with most inks (oil base, rubber base and soy base).
