The DT A2 detack
unit has been designed specifically for the processing of plates up to A2 size.
It features 14 UVC light treatment lamps and can process an unlimited UVC to
photopolymer plates. This allows complete control of surface tension and ink
release characteristics. Please contact the team at Dantex to find out more
about the DT A2 unit and associated equipment.

The AQF UCR Stand
Filter is a separate unit that has been designed and manufactured for use with
the AQF range of equipment. It features a filter which is attached to the
processor via two quick release connectors. As water containing waste polymer
is pumped through the filters, clean water is re-circulated into the wash tank.
The waste is shaken off the filter for disposal. The steel meshes require
regular cleaning for effective results as well as the occasional cartridge
replacement. This optional unit can be wall or floor mounted to suit customer
requirements.

models feature a digital mask layer which is sensitised to the Spark’s laser
light on top of its surface. The mask acts in the same way as a traditional
film negative. Benefits of the Spark range feature high quality output,
consistency and overall process cost reductions. Please visit our website to
