Compressible sleeves have an outside cushion layer. By making use of compressible sleeves you create more standardization, more constant print quality and a reduction of your tape costs of 30%. This special outer layer is made out of cellular, water crossed-linked foamed polyurethane.
Soft compressible sleeve
Properties
The soft, cushion layer can be offered in different kind of densities: 40, 50 and 60 Shore hardness.
Printing
The use of soft sleeves reduce bouncing. Also soft sleeves create standardization in the printing process. Due to better tolerance it is possible to have higher print speeds and pressure.
Quality
The tolerance of compressible sleeves with plate is 7.5% better than a regular sleeve with plate and cushion tape.
Savings
With this compressible layer you use non-compressible thin tapewhichsaves up to30% costs. It is also possible to store sleeves with plates mounted on it, without reducing the compressibility!
Why use compressible plate sleeves?
Tech Sleeves has chosen for cellular, water-crossed linked foamed polyurethane, because its a special material with great high value properties such as:
High rebound resilience
Up to 50% compressible without bulging
Resistant to permanent deformation
Good abrasion resistance
Resistance to ageing and weathering
Resistance to cleaning solvents used for polymer plates
