6.0 Press Chemistry Compatibility for Unbaked/Baked Thermal Platinum<br />
Plates<br />
Most alkaline chemicals are not compatible with non-postbaked plates. <strong>Kodak</strong> Thermal Platinum<br />
Digital Plates, when properly postbaked, are impervious to almost all chemicals. It is very important that<br />
a chemical resistance test be done at every customer site regardless of known compatibility. All<br />
customer conditions are different and certain applications don’t run well when combined. The proper<br />
way of conducting a chemical resistance test is to gather all the chemicals from the customer site, which<br />
will come in contact with the printing plate in any manner and perform a drop test. If within five minutes<br />
of the drop being applied to the plate, there are no effects of coating attack, then the chemical should be<br />
ok to use. Postbaking plates is highly recommended when a customer has questionable chemicals that in<br />
your opinion could cause on press performance issues.<br />
