Gums are used to protect the plate from oxidation or other damage that may occur between development and press. AGFA’s extensive range of gums and finishers are easy to use but at the same time developed to be removed easy and rapidly when the plate is on the press. Storage gums form a thin film on the plate and provide the necessary plate protection for a period up to 6 months.
