  • easy storage (for repeat printing)
  • light weight

THICK (10m.m.) HIGH SPEED STEEL PLATES

Printek provides High Speed Steel (H.S.S.) plates of the following grades of steel: D2-D4-M2-SKD11. Plates are heat treated and annealed under vacuum eliminating internal stresses. Each plate is milled to remove surface impurities, heat treated, ground, lapped and then etched with customers’ artwork. All the grinding, lapping and etching is done in our premises. We can process any size plate. Each plate can be reprocessed up to 40 times, cutting the price of each successive plate in about half. Example: an M2 plate will provide a minimum of 2 million impressions.
H.S.S. plates are used in the automotive, medical and electronic industries when very long runs are required.
