The Ecoo ED series of CTP plates, specifically the ECOO-ED thermal plates, Produces by ECOOGraphix sold by APPS Philippines are designed for high-grade commercial and newspaper printing. These are double-layer, positive thermal aluminum plates known for their durability and performance in demanding environments. Key features include:

1. Material and Coating:
o Made from electrochemically grained and anodized aluminum (1050 alloy).
o Features a two-layer, IR-sensitive positive coating that ensures long durability and compatibility with various inks, including UV inks.

2. Run Lengths:
o For regular ink: 100,000 to 200,000 impressions.
o For UV ink: 50,000 to 100,000 impressions, depending on conditions.

3. Specifications:
o Available in thicknesses of 0.15 mm to 0.40 mm.
o Suitable for AM and FM screening, with resolutions of 1-99% at 200 LPI.
o Compatible with most industry-standard thermal CTP systems such as Kodak, Heidelberg, and Fuji models.
o Exposure energy required: 110-130 mJ/cm².
o Shelf life: 12 months under proper storage.

4. Processing:
o Can be developed using standard processors and developers like Kodak Gold Star.
o Processing temperature: 23°C ± 2°C. o Developing time: 25-30 seconds.

5. Environmental and Operational Benefits:
o Daylight handling for ease of use.
o High stability and adaptability, reducing costs and environmental impact by eliminating the need for post-baking.

These plates are robust and versatile, with strong resistance to UV inks and chemical exposure. They are also packaged with care, typically 50 plates per carton, to ensure safety during transport and storage
