Zahara® Elite Waterless Printing
A New Level of Performance

Zahara printing plate technology has taken waterless printing to a new level of performance and compelling business advantages:

  • Plates that meet your precise printing needs: Verico’s advanced coatings enable us to create Zahara plates that are precisely tailored to your print requirements.

  • Chemistry-free plate setup: Zahara technology completes the eco-friendly picture with chemistry-free plate setup. This eliminates the cost, storage, health risks, and residual chemical transfer associated with chemistry-based preparation. In addition, chemistry-free simplifies your workflow, contributing to profitability.

  • Consistently high-quality printing: Zahara allows a reproduction of extremely sharp prints with the finest screenings and highest resolutions.

  • Longer runs with each plate: Zahara plates aren’t degraded by chemical washing during setup, which gives them superior durability. The silicone layer stays extremely stable and you get more runs from each plate, saving on investment costs and keeping your presses rolling.

  • Superior ability: During the chemistry-free plate making process, you have fewer variables for errors.

  • Environmental and regulatory compliance: Zahara enables printers to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, including eliminating chemicals, reducing waste, using low-migration inks for food safety, and more.

ZAHARA ®ECO-KLEEN 100
CHEMISTRY-FREE

Eco-Kleen 100 is designed for chemistry-free waterless plates which are simply imaged and washed using clean water to provide press-ready plates Chemistry-free plate setup completes the picture of eco-friendly waterless printing allows for longer runs per plate and improves profitability.

STABILITY IN REPRODUCTION

With the use of four oscillating high-speed brushes made of a special Polyamide material, EcoKleen 100 provides the most efficient and stable washout reproduction EcoKleen 100 has robust engineering with extremely powerful motors and resilient gears. With its extremely high-pressure water pumps it ensures a safe brush humidification to avoid washout errors.

CLEAN WATER SAVING

The EcoKleen 100 uses an intelligent water recirculation filter systemThe processor consumes up to 0.05 liters of recycled water per plate and is about 120-times more economical than other competing processors which use up to 6 liters of fresh water per plate. For example a newspaper Printer with 3 prepress lines and an annual plate consumption of 180000 panorama plates reduces water consumption from 1,080,00 liters to only 9,000 liters per year.
