This is a reminder we send out every year!
At low temperatures, we recommend 24-hour seasoning of the plates at room temperature before using them. For CtP plates you should open the package. After moving a cold plate to a warm room moisture settles down on it. This has a negative effect on the quality of the matrices. If it is necessary to use the plates without seasoning, they should be placed for half a minute in the drying unit.
Packages should be stored horizontally, away from the water and alcohol, which cause a dissolution of the plates. To ensure a long life of Cosmolight and Printight plates, unexposed plates should be stored in a place protected from direct exposure to UV radiation and heat, at temperatures between 10 and 25 °C. (in the place of storage) and humidity between 30% and 60% (in the place of storage). The cardboard containing the plates should not be stored directly on the floor.
