DITR Film – DPT

Amazing Feature For

DITR Film High-quality, process-free digital film

High-quality, process-free, consistent digital film – the perfect match for analog photopolymer plates, analog offset, liquid photopolymer and silkscreen printing

FLEXCEL DITR Features

High-quality, process-free, consistent digital film – the perfect match for analog photopolymer plates, analog offset, liquid photopolymer and silkscreen printing.

Infrared imaging

Its proprietary black, dye-based mask is removed by thermal ablative imaging using an infrared laser source. When imaged on a FLEXCEL NX Imager, DITR Film delivers high-contrast, sharp image reproduction with exceptional background clarity.

Productive process

DITR Film is designed to be imaged in just a few simple steps. This innovative film eliminates processing entirely, saving time and minimizing the opportunity for process variations that can necessitate start overs. In addition, DITR Film can be handled in yellow or UV-modified fluorescent lighting for easier cutting and manipulation, so you can shut the dark room for good.

Cut costs

With no need for film processing equipment, you’ll be able to reduce electricity, water, chemical usage and disposal costs. The reduced footprint of your prepress gives you more available space to grow your business. Investment in thermal imaging offers plenty of potential for future returns, opening up a completely digital prepress operation.

How It Works?

DITR Film delivers reliable, consistent imaging results across all packaging applications, supporting high productivity and efficient workflows with the resilience needed for high press speeds and the durability required for repeat imaging tasks.

Thermal Ablative Imaging

DITR Film utilizes thermal ablative imaging technology using an infrared laser (800–850 nm) to remove its black dye-based mask. This enables precise and high-contrast image reproduction when imaged on FLEXCEL NX Imagers

Digital Film Workflow

Unlike conventional silver halide films, DITR Film eliminates the need for chemical processing. It integrates directly into the digital workflow, streamlining prepress operations with fewer steps and reducing the chances of human error.

Plate Imaging Versatility

DITR Film is designed to be compatible with various platemaking processes including liquid photopolymer, analog flexo, offset, letterpress, and more, offering wide application flexibility

Resolution	200 lpi maximum (AM) on FLEXCEL NX Imagers 25-micron FM screening Dependent upon capability of imaging device.
Safelight recommendations	Unexposed film has some sensitivity to prolonged white light exposure. For best results, handle film under yellow or UV-modified fluorescent light. Protect exposed film as you would unexposed film.
Film cleaning	Water or water/alcohol cleaners are NOT recommended, as they will attack the film's matte surface.
Opaquing	Ferric oxide or other water-based opaque is recommended for minor blemishes.
Film handling	This is a single usage film, and is more susceptible to fingerprinting and scratching than conventional films. Care should be taken when handling.
Dot etching	This film cannot be wet or dry etched.
Shelf life & storage	Unexposed film shelf life is eighteen (18) months. The expiration date is printed on the product label. Ideal storage conditions are in the original packaging, kept flat in a cool, dry, dark place: 32°F - 70°F (0°C - 21°C) and 50% RH. Exposed film is best stored the same as unexposed film.
