Development pads

Our high-quality development pads are specially designed for the processing of photosensitive magnesium plates.

They provide a dual function during plate preparation:

Efficient development of the photosensitive coating, ensuring clean and precise removal of the exposed or soluble layer. Controlled chemical scumming of the magnesium surface, helping to remove residual coating and prepare the exposed magnesium areas for a clean and uniform etching process.

Their carefully selected structure provides effective mechanical action without damaging fine details, making them particularly suitable for fine lines, small text, screens and high-resolution artwork.

Key benefits:

• Consistent development, 
• Efficient scumming,
• Clean magnesium surface,
• Preservation of fine details, 
• Reliable preparation before etching.
