SmartPlate™ Xtreme™
Laser plates have added a level of quality to instant printing
that the previous, photo-direct plates were never able to achieve.
Offering benefits such as first-generation imaging and no
processing chemistry to mix or dispose of, the Hurst SmartPlates have taken another giant step in improving print quality.
Introducing…the Hurst SmartPlate Xtreme.

Frequently asked
questions, reprinted from SmartPlate 12-2004
- 1. Can the SmartPlate™ be
used on both sides?
- Yes, make sure you image both
sides before running on the press.
- 2. What is the length of
run I can expect?
- Up to 20,000 per side, depending
on the form roller pressures and the amount of alcohol you are running.
- 3. Do I have to use
certain types of ink?
- No, you may use any type of ink
and any color.
- 4. Do I have to change my
fountain solution?
- In most cases you do not. In some
cases it maybe necessary to lower the percentage of Alcohol or use a more pure
water.
- 5. Does your fountain
concentrate work with Metal, Silver or electrostatic plates?
- Yes, SmartPlate™ Fountain
Solution #390 is an excellent all purpose fountain concentrate.
- 6. Can I wash off the
plates with my blanket/roller wash?
- No, solvents will wipe off the
image, destroying the plate.
- 7. Is it possible to
reuse the SmartPlate™?
- Yes, but you need to decide if
that is best for you. Remember, you will have it in memory or on a disk. Why
store the plate away and risk scratches?
- 8. Can I use any laser
printer?
- Yes and no. For highest
quality/longest length of run, we recommend the HP LaserJet 5000/5100 Series.
Almost any laser printer will fix toner to the plate, the HP LaserJet
5000/5100 Series consistently fuses the toner at the correct temperature with
the highest of quality. Some other printers vary in quality and the resulting
length of run.
- 9. Can I run halftones on
the SmartPlate™?
- Yes, up to a 133 line screen.
- 10. Are there any other
chemicals available?
- Yes, there is SmartPlate™ Etch
#392 for prewetting the plate; SmartPlate™ Prep designed for laser printers
that leave a residue of dots (scatter); SmartPlate™ Fountain Solution #390;
and SmartPlate Clean Print 396.
- 11. Can I run a shorter
plate then what is needed to cover my cylinder?
- Yes, just like silver or
electrostatic plates, you can run a shorter plate and wet down the back with
etch or fountain solution.
- 12. Can I run tight
registration?
- Absolutely Yes! The SmartPlate™
is designed to hold very tight registration enabling you to run 2, 3, or 4
spot color jobs. If your press pressures cause elongation of punched holes,
there is the SmartStrip, an aluminum piece with adhesive available that will
eliminate any movement.
