AGFA Graphics is a company that manufactures products for use in the printing and publishing industry. One of the categories of products they manufacture is printing plates, which are used to transfer printed images onto newspaper, packages or other items. At times, problems may arise with these plates.
Plates Don't Pick Up Ink
Some users of AGFA plates complain that the plate do not pick up ink very well. During the printing process, users notice that the images are light and not uniform. There could be a variety of reasons for this problems. The plates may need to be cleaned. AGFA makes a number of plate-cleaning solutions that are chemically engineered to be used specifically with AGFA plates. The plates may also have been prepared for printing improperly.
Holes and Spots in Printing
Users of AGFA plates have also noticed that there are small dots or holes in some of the images printed with the plates. These small dots may appear intermittently on images throughout the printing process, affecting some but not affecting others. This may be due to a defect in the plates themselves. AGFA products carry a warranty for replacement of defective merchandise. However, these dots may also be due to poor preparation, such as use of the wrong ink or washout gum on the plates.
Damaged Plates
Damaged plates are another problem noted by some users. The product warranty covers damage that was not the fault of the user. The company will gladly exchange any defective products or issue refunds.
