Novadom plates are manufactured in India by Technova. The plates come in Legal, B4 and A3 sizes. They are polyester based plates output through a laser printer such as Hp 5200 laser printer. They may be output through a photocopier also but the result may not be that good. They are ideal for short run spot color printing.
We have been using Novadom plates for a couple of years and they are basically the only alternative to metal plates. They are very cheap compared to the metal ones which comes in about Rs. 60 or 70 per plate. Novadom plates in legal size are available in packets of hundred for under Rs.750/- per packet. The B4 and A3 sizes comes under Rs.15 per plate.
Novadom plates are known as Smart Plate in the US. They are distributed there by Hurst Chemical Company. These plates have the limitations of common laser printer plates that I discussed in my post under “Difficulties With Laser Polyester Plates.”
