PLATES
Prepared surfaces, as of metal or plastic from which printing image begins.

MICR-LINE HQ and MICR-LINE LP are metal-backed photopolymer letterpress plates.  HQ plates incorporate archival properties for multiple imaging use.  Water-developed and UV-exposed, HQ plates are used for applications involving long runs, crash printing, applications to magnetized cylinders or forms printing.  LP plates offer a lower cost alternative with the same image quality as the HQ plate, but without archival ability.  Both plate series offer the Heath quality guarantee.  Extensive Heath research and development have yielded a photopolymer plate system unmatched in the industry for consistency and quality.

MICR-LINE Laser Plates provide a cost effective means of imaging check and forms work.  Incorporating a unique surface hardness and topography, our plates withstand the rigors of the iron oxide found in MICR ink and deliver an ideal image transfer.  The surface coating can be fused at normal fuser temperatures, allowing imaging through most dry toner imaging devices.  MICR-LINE Laser Plates are available in a variety of stock sizes.
